AliveShot is an independent iPhone app, plus free in-browser tools, that turns videos, GIFs and short TikTok or Instagram clips into Live Photos you can use as a lock screen wallpaper. It isn’t affiliated with Apple.
What we make
- The AliveShot iPhone app. Pick a clip, trim 1–3 seconds, choose the cover frame and save it to Photos as a real Live Photo.
- Free web tools. Trim and crop a clip in your browser with nothing uploaded. Start with the video to Live Photo tool.
- Plain-English guides. How Live Photos work on iPhone, what works as a wallpaper and what to do when it doesn’t. Browse all guides.
How we keep our guides accurate
- We check iPhone steps and version claims against Apple’s own support documentation.
- When Apple doesn’t document something, we say so instead of guessing.
- Every guide shows when it was last updated, and we revise guides when iOS changes how Live Photos or wallpapers work.
- We tell you when an app is the only way to do something, including our own.
Your privacy
The web tools run on your device, and your videos aren’t uploaded. Read the privacy policy for details.
