A practical guide

How to turn a video into a Live Photo.

Make a short local edit on the web, then use the iPhone app for the part that needs native Photos access.

Start by choosing the moment you want to keep, not by uploading a whole library of clips. This website opens a supported video from your device and lets you mark a short section for a new MP4. The useful part of a Live Photo is usually a small gesture, a moving subject, or a bit of atmosphere rather than a long recording, so beginning with a one-to-five-second range keeps the decision simple. Your original file remains in the browser while you work; the page does not send it to a conversion server. Before trimming, play the source once and look for a moment with a clear beginning and ending, especially if the clip includes a person, a gesture, or a sound you want to keep. Starting a little before the action and ending just after it usually gives the final MP4 room to feel natural. If the first choice is not right, use Replace to select another local file and try again; there is no account, queue, or uploaded copy to clean up between attempts.

Next, set the start point and motion length in the local trimmer. MP4, MOV, and WebM source files are accepted, with short H.264 MP4 or MOV clips generally giving the most direct path. The browser creates a separate MP4 for the selected range and keeps the chosen audio with it. This is useful when the clip needs a cleaner beginning, when only one reaction is worth keeping, or when you want to make the file small enough to move through Files on an iPhone without carrying the full recording along.

Download the trimmed MP4 when it is ready. On iPhone, Safari can save the result to Files, but it cannot hand that local file directly to another app or add a new item to Photos by itself. Open All To Live after the download, choose the MP4 from Files, and let the app create the Live Photo. That final step is where you can choose a cover frame and save the finished result to your photo library, using the native iPhone capabilities that a web page does not receive.

The split between web trim and app finish is intentional. It lets you prepare a clip without a cloud upload or a large browser conversion download, while still using an iPhone-native workflow for the final Live Photo. If you only need a short MP4, you can stop after the local trim. If your goal is a Live Photo or moving wallpaper, continue in All To Live with that downloaded file. The same approach also makes it clear which part happens in the browser and which part must happen on the device.

How it works

A simple web-to-app flow.

Start with the part of the video you want to keep, then finish it with the iPhone app that can create and save a Live Photo.

Keep it private

Trim one moment in the browser.

Choose the part worth keeping. The source video stays in your browser tab and the result is a newly created MP4. Pick a moment between one and five seconds so the clip is short enough to preview, download, and use on your iPhone.

Start local trimming

Take it to iPhone

Download first, then choose it in Files.

Safari can download the MP4, but it cannot pass that local file directly into another app or write to Photos. Save it to Files first, then select that downloaded MP4 when All To Live asks you to choose a source video.

Finish in the app

Use All To Live for the native result.

The app is where you can create the Live Photo, refine its cover frame, and save it into your photo library. Keeping the web trim and the native finish separate lets the website stay private while the app uses the iPhone features Safari cannot access.
