### 5/5 — “Live Studio: A Must-Have App for Versatile Media Creation”

*2026-04-12*

Live Studio has truly become an essential part of my daily routine, and I can’t imagine my life without it. The app’s simplicity and versatility are what make it stand out. One of my favourite features is its ability to convert any video into a live photo, no matter how long it is. This has been a game-changer for me, especially when I was creating live wallpapers for iOS 17. The ease with which I could transform my favourite videos into dynamic live wallpapers added a personal touch to my device.

But that’s not all Live Studio can do. It also excels at turning videos into animated GIFs, which are perfect for sharing on social media. The quality of these GIFs is impressive, and they always manage to capture the essence of the original video. Additionally, the app can convert burst images into GIFs, which is a fantastic feature for those who love to capture fast-paced moments.

What truly sets Live Studio apart is its unique ability to convert a GIF into a live photo and vice versa, as well as a live photo into a video. This level of flexibility is rare and incredibly useful for someone like me who enjoys experimenting with different types of media. Even on newer iOS versions, Live Studio remains a valuable tool in my arsenal, although I no longer use it for live wallpapers.

One of my personal favourite uses for the app is creating long exposure images with a single live photo. The results are often stunning, and it’s a feature that I use frequently to capture beautiful, artistic shots.

In conclusion, my appreciation for Live Studio knows no bounds. The developers have done an outstanding job in creating an app that is both powerful and user-friendly. I sincerely hope that Live Studio remains available on the App Store for as long as live photos are supported on iOS. Thank you for bringing this incredible app into my life!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-12-11*

Will the developer continue to adapt to this app with the update of the iOS version?

### 1/5 — Please don't buy

*2025-06-24, version 2.3.1*

This item does not work on iPhone 15 pro max and I am using 18.5 update. I tried a number of times to convert video to Live Photo and it does not work. When you try to get refund.. he or she refuses to give you back $1.99 for your purchase.Please use your credit card if you decide to take a chance on this app , so you can make a claim with your credit card provider.. please also do not use your debit card for this purchase. The one star is used just to submit my honest review.Keep hunting apple community!

### 1/5 — 라이브로 저장이 안됨

### 5/5 — Video to Live Photo: easy

*2024-08-13*

Does what it says.  Fast and easy.  No subscription required.

### 2/5 — Wallpaper Motion not Supported

*2024-06-11, version 2.3.0*

Live photos generated by this app CANNOT be used for wallpapers on newer iPhones/iOS since motion is not supported.

### 4/5 — I need a refund

*2023-12-04, version 2.3.0*

Though this app would help me with a live photo wallpaper but it didn’t work.

### 5/5 — Live Photo no compatible con iOS17

*2023-11-22, version 2.3.0*

La imagen si funciona como Live Photo, pero a la hora de ponerla como wallpaper iOS no lo permite. Quizás sea porque el formato de salida es JPEG, ya que las imágenes que si permite poner como wallpaper son en formato HEIF. Espero y eso se pueda solucionar

### 3/5 — 连拍转动图功能选择图片后图片撕裂

*2023-09-19*

如题

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2022-04-18, version 2.3.0*
