How it works

Three short steps from MP4 to Live Photo.

01

Upload your MP4

Drag in a local MP4 or browse for it. The file stays on your device and is not sent to a conversion server.

02

Trim the moment

Set a start point and a one-to-five-second duration. Preview the moment before creating the new local MP4.

03

Create your Live Photo

Download the trimmed MP4, open it from Files in All To Live, then complete the app's Live Photo export.

Why MP4?

MP4 is a practical starting point for a short moving moment.

MP4 is one of the most common video containers. It is widely used for videos shared between phones, clips exported from editing apps, screen recordings, and files moved through Files or cloud storage. When you already have an MP4, you do not need to change it into a different input type before choosing the exact moment you want to keep.

This MP4 to Live Photo page keeps the first step focused: it prepares a concise local MP4 for All To Live. A shorter source is easier to review, easier to move through Files, and easier to pair with a deliberate cover frame in the app. Start with a well-lit clip, avoid cutting into the action too late, and leave a little room before and after the movement.

The web tool does not claim to create the final Apple Live Photo by itself. That is the reason for the handoff: the browser can make the selected MP4 locally, while All To Live can perform the iPhone-native photo-library step.

Before you export

Check the moment, then keep the handoff simple.

Play the selected range once from the beginning before you download it. The best short clips usually have one readable action rather than several competing movements. If the first frame is already blurry or the last frame cuts off a gesture, move the start point by a fraction of a second and check it again. The original MP4 stays untouched, so a second local trim does not overwrite your source.

This tool keeps the preparation private: it does not send the MP4 to a server, request an account, or create a cloud queue. The downloaded MP4 remains the file you bring into All To Live. Keeping that handoff explicit makes it clear which action happens on the web and which one happens inside the iPhone app.

Other formats

Have a different video type?

If you have a MOV or WebM source, use the main local trimmer instead. It accepts those supported video formats and produces the same downloadable MP4 handoff for All To Live.
