This How.com.vn article teaches you how to make a video a Live Photo using a free app on your iPhone or iPad.
Things You Should Know
- iPhones and iPads don't have the built-in function to change videos into Live Photos, but you can convert them with an app.
- Download intoLive from the App Store and launch it.
- Pick the video to convert, tap "Make," then "Save Live Video."

Expert Q&A
Tips
- If you have an Android, there's no point in making a Live Photo, as you can't view it in your Photos app or share it with anyone via text messaging or email. Instead, you can use built-in Samsung features or 3rd party apps to convert your video into a wallpaper.[1]Thanks
- If the idea of making your video into a Live Photo is for social media, think again. Most platforms don't accept Live Photos, so convert your video or Live Photo into a GIF instead! You can easily share GIFs on any social media platform.Thanks
