### 5/5 — Must have App

*2026-07-24*

What can I say, this APP works great. I own app Pacolab Apps. These are one of the best APPs. If you dealing with iPhone pictures, clips etc, these are must have APPs.

### 1/5 — Mov to jpeg or jpg file conversion junk

*2021-02-10*

Bought it today.  No it doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hi,
There must be a misunderstanding. As described, the app can extract the main (HD) image file and the video file from a Live Photo.
If you need assistance, you can contact me at contact@pacolabs.com.

### 5/5 — 👍 Brilliant App👍

*2020-09-13*

When you try to create a gif and save it to the photos app on a iphone 7 it crashes
The Developer of this app fixed the above problem as soon as he heard about it a fantastic response to my problem. It’s now back to its position as the best app of its genre. Wonderful

**Developer response:** Hi Thank you for reporting the problem, and sorry about it.
I've just submitted a fix for review. 
The new version 5.2.3 should be available very soon on the App Store.
EDIT : thank you for your update  ! :)

### 1/5 — 苹果就是不好骗人软件太多了

*2018-01-10*

都不能使用

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-01-06*

This app takes my iPhone photos and converts them to a format that can be read on my Windows devices. I wish it could do more than one at a time, but it allows you to customize the exact freeze point of each photo. It also keeps the properties of the original photo such as the location and the date stamp.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2017-09-29*

It’s so much fun to play with. My Live Photo’s come to life, and I can export them as movies or gifs. 

Wow!

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2017-07-23*

Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Live Foto Serie in Einzelbilder wandeln und genau die passende Sequenz auswählen...!

### 1/5 — 不好

*2017-01-07*

一点也不好就是个大骗子

### 5/5 — Super!

*2017-01-01*

Genial! Macht aus den live Fotos des iPhones kleine gif Animationen die dann überall einsetzbar sind. Genau das hatte ich gesucht! Der Kauftipp! Was ggf. noch fehlt wäre eine Einstellung der framerate bei gif Export um etwas die Dateigröße eingrenzen zu können. Kleinkram. Trotzdem tolles Tool!

### 1/5 — 不知道怎么用

*2016-04-23*

一点都不好用，又没有操作说明
