Turn an Image into a Live Wallpaper
No video needed, just start from one photo. AI adds gentle, natural motion and pairs it into a real Live Photo, so you can set it as a moving wallpaper on your iPhone Lock Screen.
Upload a photo to turn into a wallpaper
JPG or PNG works best. Your photo is sent securely to the AI model, which generates the wallpaper motion.
When you only have a photo, not a video
A live wallpaper is just a Live Photo set on your Lock Screen, which means it needs both a still and a short bit of motion. If all you have is a single picture, there's no motion to work with. This tool fills that gap: an AI model looks at your photo and generates a few seconds of subtle, believable movement, a drift of hair, a ripple, a soft push-in, then we package the still and that motion into a proper Live Photo.
It's tuned for wallpaper specifically, so the motion stays calm and ambient rather than gimmicky, the kind of gentle loop that looks good every time you glance at your Lock Screen. The generation runs on an AI model in the cloud (your photo is sent securely to it and it uses a few credits), and you can steer the result by describing the motion you want before you start.
A living wallpaper from a single still
AI motion, tuned for the Lock Screen.
Motion from one photo, no video required
The AI invents the movement for you, so a still you love can become a live wallpaper even when you never filmed a clip of it.
Tuned for wallpaper, not gimmicks
The default motion is subtle and ambient, gentle enough to live on your Lock Screen without feeling busy or fake.
Guide the motion in your words
Add an optional prompt, like 'soft wind in the hair' or 'slow camera push-in', to steer how the AI animates your photo.
A real Live Photo, ready for iPhone
You get a zip with the paired .JPG and .MOV. AirDrop both to your iPhone, open Photos, and set it as a Live wallpaper on your Lock Screen.
Start from a JPG or PNG
Bring a clear photo with a bit of room for movement. Hair, water, clouds, or a soft background all animate well.
No watermark on the result
The Live Photo you download is clean. Generating uses credits, and there's a free balance to start with so you can try it.
