UnderCover Photo does two tricks, and it does them properly.
TRICK ONE: THE UNDERCOVER PHOTO
Hide a tiny video inside any picture and it becomes a real Live Photo, so it works everywhere Live Photos do. They see a normal photo in the thread. The moment they press and hold, your hidden clip plays. A meme, a message, a moment.
• Pick any video, shoot one right in the app, or start from your favorite gif
• Choose the exact seconds with a frame accurate trimmer
• Use any photo as the cover. It does not have to match the clip. That is the fun part.
• Or keep it simple and use a frame from the actual video clip.
TRICK TWO: CUSTOM MOTION STICKERS
The perfect sticker starts as the perfect Live Photo. Shape any video or gif here, save it, then add it as a sticker straight from Photos with Apple's own touch and hold gesture. The app walks you through that last step. iOS cuts out the subject, and it moves exactly the way you designed it.
• Straight, loop, or bounce the playback. Bounce is the good one.
• Slow it to half or quarter speed
• Trim it to the perfect beat before it ever becomes a sticker
• Add text that can appear, change, and vanish mid clip
MEME STUDIO
Put words on anything. Drag, resize, rotate. Meme, clean, and sticker styles with full color control. On video, every text layer has its own in and out points on a timeline.
IT IS A REAL LIVE PHOTO
Saves straight to your library and verifies the pairing before it saves. Works in Messages, AirDrop, and Photos on iPhone and iPad. Long press to play, exactly like a Live Photo, because it is one.

Ratings & Reviews
TWO PATHS, FROM THE FIRST SCREEN
Tell the app what you are making. A STICKER turns any video or gif into a Live Photo shaped for stickering. A SECRET hides your clip behind an innocent photo. Finish either one and it offers you the other.
FRAME THE STICKER, AND WATCH IT BEING CUT
The sticker path plays your clip on a loop while you drag and zoom to frame it, and shows the cutout bouncing on a message bubble beside it, recut live as you move. No more making one, looking at it, and starting over.
FREE IS NOW THE REAL THING
No watermark, ever. Free includes your own decoy cover, so the whole trick is yours: 2 complete creations a week.
ALSO
The camera buttons say what they do. Switching between straight, loop and bounce gives your segment the full time each mode allows. Several fixes to cropping and preview.
