Can I upload the .MOV from the Live Photo?
No. Upload the still image. Video-to-GIF is a different tool.

Live Photo to GIF, from the still
A Live Photo is a still plus a short movie inside Apple's container. This converter does not unpack that container. Export the still as JPEG or PNG, upload it, and Motionframe builds a new loop you can post outside the Apple ecosystem.
Make the animation
JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB. You get an MP4 and a GIF.
Free exports carry a Motionframe watermark. Paid credits remove it.
- Use the key frame, not a blurry in-between, if you export frames yourself.
- Pets, products, and objects work better than crowded rooms.
- The GIF loops. The original Live Photo motion is not copied frame for frame.
Questions
Will it look like the original Live Photo?
It will be a new motion based on a preset, not a replay of the capture.
Is this only for products?
The presets are written for products, and they also work on a pet or an object you simply want to post.
