Which File Do I Upload?
An iPhone Live Photo is a pair: a photo (HEIC/JPG) and a 3-second video (MOV). The motion lives in the MOV β that's the file you upload. We render it to a high-quality GIF with an optimized color palette.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I get the MOV file from a Live Photo?
- On iPhone: Photos β select the Live Photo β Share β Save to Files. You'll get both files; upload the .MOV one here.
- Can I create long GIFs?
- Yes β pick Full length or type any custom duration up to 60 seconds. For clips longer than ~10 seconds we automatically lower the frame rate so the file stays easy to share.
- Will the GIF loop seamlessly?
- We optimize the palette and frame timing. Live Photos include a moment of motion before and after the shot, so most GIFs loop naturally.
- Is it free?
- Yes. No account, no watermark, no cost.
