Convert Video into Live Sticker on iPhone and iPad
Before going any further, let’s understand how this tip works!
How do you convert a video into a Live Sticker?
As iOS 17 lacks a built-in way to transform a video into a Live Sticker, you will need to take a bit different route to achieve this goal. First and foremost, you will have to rely on a third-party “Video to Live Photo Converter” to bridge the gap. Knowing the fact that creating a Live Sticker requires you to have a Live Photo, this is a must-have requirement that you need to tick off beforehand.
For the purpose of this guide, I’m going to use an app called “Video to Live” developed by Anish Modan. The app is available for free and supports iOS 13 or later. Hence, you won’t need to spend any bucks to get the most out of this tip.
Use “Video to Live” to Convert Video into a Live Photo on iPhone and iPad
- To get started, download the Video to Live app and launch it.
- After that, ensure that the Video tab is selected.
- Next, select a video from your photo library.
- Next, you can trim your video, mute/unmute the sound, and also use a variety of filters to enhance the appearance.
- Finally, convert the video into a Live Photo and save it to your photo library.
