However the banner advertising the new app is distracting and in my way, I’ve clicked it on accident several times now. Please remove it thank you. ### 4/5 — Good *2025-05-30, version 1.9* I couldn’t use the Live Photo as a wallpaper for some reason. But it was good. ### 4/5 — Aight *2025-03-21, version 1.9* It’s good and gets the job done ### 3/5 — Good free app for conversion but still has issues *2025-02-17, version 1.9* Seem to be having the same problem as others. I want to have a video turned into a Live Photo wallpaper. I’ve turned the video clip into a live photo and have all the options in iPhone’s “Photos” app of loop, bounce, long exposure, etc. clip of video is exactly 3 seconds, like a standard Live Photo. But the phone WILL not let me check the Live Photo option on wall paper lock screen customization. Guess I’m still looking for a solution. ### 2/5 — Idk *2024-09-09, version 1.8* Uhhh Im doing this on an iPhone 12 pro and it doesn’t work ### 4/5 — Sound *2024-03-20, version 1.6* I make my own live wallpaper and it works very good but my live wallpaper doesn’t sound. Please developer helps me ### 3/5 — My review *2024-02-16, version 1.6* I give this three stars because it worked before I never got a chance to use it, but I knew that it worked but Apple has patched it, and you can no longer use live videos as your wallpaper so if you’re planning to download it for that don’t it can transfer videos to gifs that’s about it ### 3/5 — Not working with ios 17 *2024-02-10* … ### 3/5 — Ehhh.... *2023-12-18, version 1.6* Ok so I think this is a fun app but it doesn't work for mine and whenever I turn a photo or a video in to a gif it works but, it never moves like it should when on my home or lock screen. I've tried with many different photos and videos but it never works. It moves when looking at it in my camera role but, it's always just sitting there like a dead rat when on my home or lock screen. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! ### 4/5 — Грустно *2023-12-13* Почему-то перестало ставить обработанные видео в лайф фото на обои, пишет не возможно поставить с эффектом лайф фото ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HELPPPPP *2026-07-04, version 1.9* So I downloaded it BUT I CANT UPLOAD ANYTHING I UPLOADED ONE PICTURE AND IT SAID “live video is not supported” WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE IT MY WALLPAPER AND NOW I CANT TRY ANOTHER ONE BC THERES NOOOO BUTTTTONNNNSSSS (POORLY DESIGNED APP) ### 1/5 — Naja *2026-03-01* Funktioniert aber extrem verschlechterte Qualität ### 1/5 — D: *2025-11-04, version 1.9* don’t know why, but it dosent work. i put the gif as a live wallpaper and put it as my wallpaper but it dosent let it animate, dont know why. i dont know if its because im on an ipad but it does not work. ### 1/5 — Wallpaper doesn’t work *2025-06-01, version 1.9* Wallpaper Live Photo doesn’t work after converting to Live Photo. Take a one star, you’ve earned it ### 1/5 — Not on my phone *2025-05-18, version 1.9* Doesn’t convert gifs on my iPhone 15 pro max ### 1/5 — Great UI, but useless Live Photos *2024-12-18* The UI is somehow the best from the "Videos to Live Photos" apps out there. But Live Photos rendered through the app do not work once set up as wallpapers. (Motion not available bla-bla-bla.) Other apps work so definitely an issue with this app. (iOS 18.2) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-20, version 1.8* If using this to try and get a wallpaper it doesnt work ### 1/5 — . *2024-07-18, version 1.8* Because it doesn’t make live videos able to be your wallpaper ### 1/5 — Unfortunately doesn’t work for me *2024-03-05, version 1.6* All videos I’ve used with this app in any lengths I get this error “Motion from this Live Photo is not supported as live wallpaper” ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2024-02-29, version 1.6* This app has been abandoned for years now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — very niche *2026-05-02, version 1.9* very niche ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-03-10* Приложение очень сильно меня выручил в крайние сроки ### 5/5 — Нету звука в лайк фото *2025-09-06* Нету звука в лайф фото ### 5/5 — Perfect Quality *2025-04-12, version 1.9* Best quality gif maker, & thanks for being free!! I only wish there was a way to add captions ### 5/5 — Perfect at what it does! *2025-04-05, version 1.9* There are plenty of GIF Markers in the App Store, but what makes this app wonderful compared to most is its simplicity, simple and intuitive navigation and the fact that it doesn’t charge you a Netflix subscription to use lol This app uses the same simple video slider as the iOS Photos app when editing, so making or creating GIFs right down to where you need it to be for the loop is really easy. It even gives the option to save in GIF or video format and even choose the resolution. Seriously—if you’re in the market for GIF maker that doesn’t charge insane price, get this app! ### 5/5 — Great app - easy video to GIF conversion *2024-12-30, version 1.9* Compact eady to use app. Good GIF conversions. ### 5/5 — Reliable *2024-10-05, version 1.8* Does what it says it does and doesn’t track me, at least that’s what it says on the App Store and I’ll take their word for it ### 5/5 — Must have app *2024-07-23* This app is very well made! Small size and pleasant to use. It's a pity that Apple programmers are not able to make such high-quality and useful apps in default iOS. ### 5/5 — Enfin en HD ! *2024-05-05* Après avoir installé 15 apps pour faire des gifs avec des vidéos, celle-ci produit enfin des gifs fluides et de bonne qualité ! ### 5/5 — Easy animated stickers from video *2023-12-19, version 1.6* I wanted an app to create live stickers from videos and this worked perfectly. Was super easy to use as I created my first one in about 30 seconds. Awesome app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
