Make a Live Wallpaper for iPhone
On iPhone, a live wallpaper is just a Live Photo set on your Lock Screen — press and hold, and it moves. Start from whatever you've got, and we'll turn it into the right one.
What "live wallpaper" actually means on iPhone
iPhone doesn't have a separate "live wallpaper" file — it uses a Live Photo, which is a still image paired with a couple of seconds of motion. Set one as your Lock Screen wallpaper and it plays when you press and hold. So making a live wallpaper really means making a good Live Photo, and the best way to do that depends on what you're starting from.
Pick your source below. If you have a video clip, that's the most common and reliable path. Only have a single photo? AI can add gentle motion to it. Got an animated GIF? That works too. Each one creates a real Live Photo you can drop onto your iPhone and set as a moving wallpaper.

A genuine Live Photo, set as wallpaper
You get the paired still and motion iOS expects, so it sets cleanly as a Lock Screen wallpaper and plays on press-and-hold — not a video that just sits in your camera roll.

Whatever you already have can become a live wallpaper. Each source has a tool tuned for it, so you're not forcing the wrong file through the wrong flow.
