Convert Live Photo to MP4
Select the still and motion components of an Apple Live Photo and create a standard MP4 video.
Private by default
The paired photo and motion file stay in this browser while they are inspected or converted.
About this live photo to mp4
An Apple Live Photo is usually a pair: a HEIC or JPEG still plus a short QuickTime MOV. Select both components when available so their content identifiers can be compared, then remux compatible H.264/AAC media into an MP4 without re-encoding.
Some edited MOV files use HEVC or contain tracks that cannot be placed directly in MP4. In that case the tool uses a local browser media pipeline when supported and clearly reports a codec limitation if the current browser cannot complete the conversion.
The still is useful for confirming the pair, but the MP4 output is built from the motion component. Matching Apple asset identifiers are compared when both files expose them; a direct remux is preferred for compatible tracks because it changes the container without recompressing frames. Codec conversion is attempted only through the documented local media path when necessary.
How it works
- 1Choose one or more compatible files or drag it into the tool.
- 2Review the detected format and options, then start the local processing job.
- 3Check the result details and download the new file, extracted data, or generated package.
Example use cases
- Handle live photo to mp4 without creating an account or installing desktop software.
- Inspect or prepare MOV, MP4, HEIC, JPG, JPEG files before sharing them with another person or service.
- Keep private file contents out of a remote conversion queue.
Supported formats and limits
- Accepted input
- MOV, MP4, HEIC, JPG, JPEG
- Maximum file size
- 150 MB per file
- Input components
- One still and one matching motion file
- Processing location
- On this device
Limitations
- HEVC, unusual audio, or edited QuickTime tracks may not be remuxable by every browser.
- A missing or conflicting Live Photo asset identifier can prevent confident pairing of the still and movie.
- The MP4 contains motion, not the full-resolution key still or Apple Photos playback behavior.
Why use this tool
- The real tool appears before supporting content, so the task starts immediately.
- Heavy code is loaded only for this utility and work is moved off the main interface where practical.
- Results use the bytes actually produced or detected—never a predicted size or fake success state.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
The paired photo and motion file stay in this browser while they are inspected or converted.
Do I need both Live Photo files to make an MP4?
The MOV or compatible MP4 motion component is the essential video input. Adding the matching still lets the tool compare pair identifiers and warn about a mismatch before conversion.
Will Live Photo to MP4 reduce video quality?
Compatible H.264 and audio tracks can be remuxed without re-encoding. If the source codec requires conversion, availability and quality depend on the local browser media pipeline and are reported explicitly.
Why was my file rejected even though the extension looks correct?
The contents may be empty, corrupt, too large, or a different format that was renamed. Re-export the original file from its source app and try again.
Does this work on phones?
Yes in current Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox where the required browser or WebAssembly feature is available. Large jobs may complete more reliably on a device with more memory.
