Send a photo and tell them to press and hold. Enjoy the reaction! UnderCover Photo does two tricks, and it does them properly. TRICK ONE: THE UNDERCOVER PHOTO Hide a tiny video inside any picture and it becomes a real Live Photo, so it works everywhere Live Photos do. They see a normal photo in the thread. The moment they press and hold, your hidden clip plays. A meme, a message, a moment. • Pick any video, shoot one right in the app, or start from your favorite gif • Choose the exact seconds with a frame accurate trimmer • Use any photo as the cover. It does not have to match the clip. That is the fun part. • Or keep it simple and use a frame from the actual video clip. TRICK TWO: CUSTOM MOTION STICKERS The perfect sticker starts as the perfect Live Photo. Shape any video or gif here, save it, then add it as a sticker straight from Photos with Apple's own touch and hold gesture. The app walks you through that last step. iOS cuts out the subject, and it moves exactly the way you designed it. • Straight, loop, or bounce the playback. Bounce is the good one. • Slow it to half or quarter speed • Trim it to the perfect beat before it ever becomes a sticker • Add text that can appear, change, and vanish mid clip MEME STUDIO Put words on anything. Drag, resize, rotate. Meme, clean, and sticker styles with full color control. On video, every text layer has its own in and out points on a timeline. IT IS A REAL LIVE PHOTO Saves straight to your library and verifies the pairing before it saves. Works in Messages, AirDrop, and Photos on iPhone and iPad. Long press to play, exactly like a Live Photo, because it is one. PAY ONCE Free: 2 creations a day with a watermark. Pro: everything, unlimited, watermark free, for a single launch price.
