Frequently Asked Questions
About turning a GIF into a Live Photo
Can I use it on iPhone?
Yes. After LivePix saves the clip as a Live Photo, use it in Photos.
How long can the GIF be?
You can choose a longer GIF. The clip uses about the first 3 seconds, which suits a Live Photo.
Can I add sound?
A GIF has no sound, so the Live Photo is silent too. Use Video to Live Photo when you need sound.
How do I set the Lock Screen?
After LivePix saves it to Photos, go to Settings > Wallpaper, choose it, and set the Lock Screen. Press and hold the screen to see the motion.
Will the picture change?
The motion is kept and prepared as a clip. Fine detail may differ slightly from the original GIF.
