Unfortunately, there are many features it doesn’t have which I would expect or hope it would. Some functionality that doesn’t seem to be supported as of this review (Oct. 2021): Video->Live - cropping - specify resolution - trim video clip Live->GIF - back-and-forth looping - tweening - trim video I’ve only used this app for a few minutes so far, so there are probably many other things I haven’t looked for (and I haven’t explored all the types of conversion it does support). Verdict: If this app does what you need it to, I highly recommend it! It seems to work great, it looks quite good, and it’s pretty lightweight and speedy. **Developer response:** Thank you for the in depth review. You are spot on! A few things: the app allows you to choose the resolution when you convert to a GIF however it defaults to the video resolution when converting videos and Live Photos. This is because the majority of the time, the video quality at the highest setting is works great. For cropping video, you can always use the video cropper built into to Photos app that ships with iOS. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel because Apple does it so well. Feel free to reach out via the support button in the app if you would like to discuss other features. Thanks again for taking the time to review! I really appreciate it and I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed what the app has to offer. ### 2/5 — 太糊了 *2021-07-03* 转换后画质太模糊 ### 1/5 — 검은화면 *2021-02-02, version 2.2.2* 라이브포토로 만들고 배경화면 설정후 재생할려고하면 검은 화면으로 뜨네요 ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2021-01-15* I just bought the app and it’s not even working properly. It keeps crashing while trying to make a video into a Live Photo. More specifically after picking a key frame. Glad it wasn’t an expensive app but disappointed since I read such great reviews :/ **Developer response:** Hi. I apologize for the crashing issue you experienced. I appreciate you writing this review and being specific about what led to the crash. I’ll look into the problem to see if I can figure out what could be causing the crash after selecting the key image. If you can reach out to me via the support button in the app, that could really help as well. Hope I can get this fixed for you soon! ### 1/5 — give me refund *2021-01-07, version 2.2.0* I've done a 10-second, 8-second conversion, and the app keeps turning off.

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? ### 5/5 — Video to Live Photo: easy *2024-08-13* Does what it says. Fast and easy. No subscription required. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Love love love it! *2020-11-13* I’ve had the app the for quite a bit now, I’d say around 2 years maybe 3, and I 100% would recommend that you get this app. I loved all its features from the jump, and the most recent update with the new layout is absolutely immaculate. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and long time support of Live Studio! Reviews like this are what keeps me motivated to continue to improve this app. I was really excited to be able to rewrite the app from scratch and improve existing features. I really appreciate that you are enjoying the update as well! ### 5/5 — muito bom *2020-06-27, version 2.1.0* muito intuitivo, simples e objetivo. ### 5/5 — Volvieron! *2020-06-02, version 2.0.3* Excelente espero q no pongan suscripción ### 5/5 — Very handy app! *2020-06-01, version 2.0.3* Great little app which works very well in my experience and does what it says it will do. Great! ### 5/5 — Dev contacted me! *2020-05-04* Dev contacted me over the gif issue, which is unusual for any app dev, so even though it is still a problem, fact is he wants to fix it. Just download the app, the dev is actually helpful! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I got a couple reports regarding issues with certain GIFs. I need to look into it more to figure out what is causing the issue. Can you please contact me via the support in the app and send me the gif you are using so I can test with that? Edit: please try the latest update, It should solve the problem. ### 5/5 — Excelente app! *2018-10-01, version 1.9.1* Muito útil para exportar suas Live Photos em vídeos e vice-versa e ainda fazer GIFs! Vale a pena comprar! Thanks to the dev for creating such an useful app! It’s helped me a lot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
