# AliveShot

> AliveShot is an iPhone app and a set of free web tools that turn videos, GIFs and short TikTok or Instagram clips into Live Photos, so they can be used as moving lock screen wallpapers on iOS 17 and later. A website cannot save a Live Photo into the iPhone Photos library; only an app can, so the web tools trim and crop in the browser (nothing is uploaded) and the app does the final save.

Key facts:
- iPhone camera Live Photos are about 3 seconds long; 1–3 seconds is the most reliable length for a lock screen wallpaper.
- Live Photo wallpapers can animate on the Lock Screen on iOS 17 and later.
- If iOS says “Motion not available”, common fixes are turning off Low Power Mode, trimming the clip to 1–3 seconds and turning off Reduce Motion. Apple does not publish the exact rules.
