Turn your Live Photos into GIFs with iOS 11

Apple introduced Live Photos after the launch of iPhone 6s in 2015. The feature made everyone fall in love. Live Photos allows users to create 3-second animated images that capture 1.5 seconds before capture and 1.5 seconds after capture.

Live Photos are compatible with iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

They are not GIFs, Live Photos have their own format, but if you want to share them as GIFs in this tutorial we will explain how to do it . And thanks to the arrival of iOS 11 passing Live Photos to GIFs is easier than ever.

Follow these steps to convert the Live Photos in your photo albums to GIF format so you can share them in many more places:

1. Opens the iOS 11 photos application.

2. Select “Albums” from the lower right corner.

3. Then click on the album “Live Photos”.

4. Open the Live Photo you want to convert to GIF.

5. Once you have opened the image, slide your finger up from the bottom of the Live Photo to access an additional menu with effects and related items.

6. Select one of the effects from the four options: Live, Loop, Rebound and Long Exposure.

7. After selecting and applying the effect to your Live Photo, a new album will be automatically created in your native iOS 11 Photos application under the name “Animated”.

And that’s it! The “Animated” album will only contain images in GIF format . So your Live Photo will have been converted to GIF in just a couple of steps. Now all you have to do is let your creativity and imagination run wild.
