A focused three-step conversion

How to make a Live Photo from video on iPhone.

The output combines a still photo with its paired motion video in Apple’s Live Photo format.

Step 1

Open Video → Live Photo

Select one compatible source video and open the Pro conversion workspace.

Step 2

Choose the moving moment

Set the segment start and duration, then choose a standard Live Photo or Live Wallpaper. Standard Live Photos let you choose the key photo.

Step 3

Create and save

Generate the Live Photo on device, preview the result, and save it directly to Photos.

Range and key photo

The selected output range must be at least 0.5 seconds long. A short, steady moment usually produces a clearer Live Photo. For a standard Live Photo, choose a key photo that also works well as a still image.

The source remains unchanged. If it needs less setup time or a different pace, prepare the video first and then open the Live Photo conversion from the generated result.

Live Wallpaper

Turn on Live Wallpaper to create a 3-second silent SDR Live Photo. The selected motion is sped up between still images while preserving the video’s aspect ratio, and the final frame becomes the key photo automatically. Leave Live Wallpaper off for a standard Live Photo with its original timing and sound.

iOS determines whether motion is available on the Lock Screen and how it plays. Use a steady clip with few scene changes. Lower-resolution footage may look softer when enlarged.

Save the Live Photo to Photos

Save to Photos adds the generated Live Photo directly to your photo library. Conversion happens on the device and requires ClipFlow Pro.

Continue Processing uses the Live Photo’s paired video with compatible video tools. The original Live Photo remains available when you return.
