Frequently asked questions
Can a website save a real Live Photo to my iPhone?
No — iOS only lets native apps write Live Photos to the camera roll. That's why this page handles the trimming and the free v2live app does the final save. Your trim settings carry over.
Which video formats can I upload?
MP4 and MOV work everywhere; WebM works in Chrome and Edge. Everything runs locally in your browser — files are never uploaded.
How long should a Live Photo be?
Under 10 seconds looks best. v2live exports up to 5 seconds free and up to 30 seconds with Pro.
Will my Live Photo have sound?
Yes, if the source video has sound. Or mute it above — silent clips make the best lock-screen wallpapers.
Is the online converter really free?
Yes. Browser trimming is free and unlimited. The iPhone app is free for exports up to 5 seconds.
How do I set a Live Photo as my lock screen?
Save it with v2live, open it in Photos, tap Share → Use as Wallpaper. On supported iPhones, press and hold the lock screen to play it.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. It stays in your browser's memory on your own device and is discarded when you leave.
