Here at How-To Geek, we think iOS’s Live Wallpaper feature is pretty neat, although it’s underused. If you don’t want to spend the time to make your own great Live Wallpaper, one of the next best options is to use a GIF.
Like with most things on the iPhone, there’s an app for that. In this case, it’s GIPHY, one of the best GIF apps on iOS. Download it and let’s get started.
Open GIPHY and search for a GIF you like. There are a few things to bear in mind when you’re looking:
- Your iPhone wallpaper is vertical. Unless you want a very small or very cropped GIF, you should look for something that’s also vertical.
- Live Wallpapers are stationary most of the time. You should pick something where the still frame looks good.
- GIFs generally have low image quality. It’s worth spending a bit of time to find something that’s high quality. It will look much better.
After a bit of searching, I found this awesome Flanders GIF.
Once you’ve found your GIF, open it and tap the three little dots in the bottom right corner. Next, select “Convert to Live Photo.”
You’ll have two options: Save as Live Photo (Full Screen) and Save as Live Photo (Fit to Screen).
