Turning an iPhone Live Photo into a Boomerang video and making it shareable has never been easier!

Whether you've got a Live Photo of a wild party or a heartfelt moment with a friend, transformed into a Boomerang is a fun and creative way to reminisce about memories. So let's get started on how to make this magic happen.

Here's what you'll do:

  1. Unveil the Magic with Bounce Feature
  2. Save it as a Video File

Step 1: Unveil the Magic with Bounce Feature

Find your desired Live Photo in your camera roll, and tap it! Swipe up, and you'll find all the hidden special effects – don't forget to check them out. Tap the "Bounce" effect to transform your Live Photo into a Boomerang. As simple as that!

However, if you want to share your Boomerang on social media, you'll need a few extra steps. First, save your Bounced photo to your files and then upload it to Kapwing Studio. From there, you can turn it into a shareable MP4 file on any platform.

Step 2: Save it as a Video File

You got your Boomerang, but now it's time to save it as a video file. You have two options:

  1. Send your Boomerang to a computer via the Share option. It will be received as an .MOV video file.
  2. Save the Boomerang directly to your phone's files using the Share menu.

Now, to make it a GIF, head over to Kapwing.com. Tap "Start Editing" to enter the Kapwing Studio. Upload your Boomerang video file, select the arrow in the top right corner, and choose "Export as GIF."

Give Kapwing a moment to complete the process. Once it's done, download the GIF straight to your camera roll. If you're not signed into a Kapwing account, sign in or create one to remove the watermark.
