Vane: Video to Live Photo

Live Photos that play anywhere

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Most apps just glue a photo and a video together. Vane asks first: where are you posting it? Every place has its own rules. Some play Live Photos, some cut them to a still, some only take video. Vane knows them, makes your Live Photo to fit, and tells you why when something has to change — nothing gets trimmed, sped up or dropped behind your back. MADE FOR WHERE IT'S GOING • Photos, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, Pinterest, X — plus WeChat, rednote, Weibo and Douyin • The right length, ratio and resolution for each, with the source and check date shown for every rule • Places that don't play Live Photos get the video or GIF they do take: once, loop, bounce or reverse • Save one edit to several places at once — each gets its own copy that fits AN EDITOR FOR LIVE PHOTOS • Trim, choose the cover frame at full source resolution, crop to any ratio • Looks, film filters and a two-axis palette with skin-tone protection • Frames that keep moving: white border, info bar with your camera and lens, film strip, instant-film prints • Text, speed (0.5× / 2×), sound on or off, and music from your own files • Re-edit an existing Live Photo — new length, new cover, new crop CHECK & FIX • "Why won't it move?" — Vane checks a Live Photo and tells you in plain words whether it will play, be adjusted, or needs to become a video • One tap saves a repaired copy; the original is never touched MORE THAN ONE • Live collage: several Live Photos in one frame, all moving • Sequence: string clips or Lives into one video with fades • Batch: a whole set in one go, same destination KEEPS WHAT MATTERS • The original date, place and camera details travel with your Live Photo, so it lands on the right day in your library (you can turn this off) • HEIC cover + HEVC video, with an H.264 option for older devices • Motion Photo: one JPEG with the video inside, to send as a file FITS IN • Share a video from Photos straight to Vane • Edit a Live Photo inside Photos with the Vane extension • "Make a Live Photo" action for Shortcuts • iPhone and iPad, with split view and Stage Manager FREE, AND VANE PRO Free, forever: make, edit and save one at a time to any destination — no watermark, no ads, no limit. Vane Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription, and works with Family Sharing. It adds batch, collage, sequence and 9-grid, every frame and look, music, Motion Photo, and one-tap repair. (Checking is always free.) Price shown in the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Everything happens on your device, and Vane only ever asks to add photos to your library. Privacy: https://gwongsam.github.io/vane/privacy/ Support: https://gwongsam.github.io/vane/support/

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

New Soft Light look and improved instant-film colors, with more natural highlights and shadows. Move and pinch to adjust photos directly inside frames. Crop and destination ratios now follow photo orientation more reliably. Added French, Italian, and Arabic app languages, plus a refreshed app icon.
