Usage Tips

Batch Processing

Turn on "Batch Mode" to upload and process multiple videos at once. After conversion is complete, you can download individually or download all results in a ZIP file.

Tips for Creating GIFs

When creating GIFs, reducing the frame rate appropriately (e.g., setting to 10-15) can reduce file size. Selecting shorter clips (3-5 seconds) usually works best.

About LIVP Format

LIVP files can be set as iPhone dynamic wallpapers. After conversion, send the file to your iPhone via AirDrop or iCloud, then set it in "Settings → Wallpaper".

Trimming Video Clips

Use the "Start Time" and "Duration" settings to convert only specific segments of your video without needing to pre-edit the video.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is my video conversion slow?

A: Conversion speed depends on your device performance, video size and length. Larger video files (>100MB) may require longer processing time. If the video is very long, we recommend using the start time and duration settings to select shorter clips.

Q: What input formats are supported?

A: Supports most common video formats including MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, etc. If your browser can play the video, it can usually be processed.

Q: My video is too large, can it be processed?

A: The maximum file size that can be processed depends on your device memory. We generally recommend not exceeding 500MB. For larger videos, we suggest using other tools to compress or edit first, or use our advanced settings to select shorter clips for conversion.

Q: Why did the conversion fail?

A: Conversion failure can have multiple causes: incompatible video format, corrupted file, insufficient device memory, etc. Please try using different video files, or refresh the page and try again. If the problem persists, please contact us for help.

Q: Can LIVP files really be used as iPhone wallpapers?

A: Our generated LIVP files are compatible with iPhone's Live Photo format to the greatest extent possible, but due to browser limitations, they may not be perfectly identical to iOS native Live Photos. Most users report successful use as wallpapers, but results may vary depending on iOS version and device model.

Q: Is my video content secure?

A: Absolutely secure! All video processing is done locally in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. We cannot access your video content, ensuring complete privacy protection.
