Liveify
Liveify is a Live Photo conversion tool: preview and convert videos, GIFs, and images in the browser, create and save Live Photos in the iPhone app, and bring photos to life with AI.
About Liveify
Liveify is a Live Photo conversion tool. In the browser, you can preview videos and GIFs online, convert videos or GIFs into Live Photo material, export Live Photos as GIFs, or export still frames from videos; the in-browser preview and format conversion are processed on your device. To actually create and save a video or GIF as a Live Photo in your iPhone's photo library, you need to use the Liveify app on an iPhone, with the original file available on that device. In addition, Liveify offers an AI photo-to-Live-Photo feature: upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo, and cloud AI generates the motion effect, which the browser then packages into a downloadable .livp file; this feature requires signing in and consumes credits.
