How do I set an MP4 as a wallpaper?

iOS wants a Live Photo and Android wants a video-wallpaper app; both conversions are one step in the free apps that do it. We give you the video, not the installer.

How long is the clip?

A few seconds, looping. The preset asks for motion that ends where it began so the repeat is not jarring.

Will it drain my battery?

That depends on your phone and how you set it, and we cannot measure it from here. A short muted loop is a small thing to play; an always-on animated lock screen is not.

Does a landscape photo work?

It will render, but a 16:9 photo cropped to 9:16 loses most of its sides. Start from something you shot upright, or switch the shape on the dashboard.

Turn a photo into a live wallpaper

Vura turns a still photo into a slow, looping 9:16 video you can set as a phone wallpaper. Upload the picture, pick this preset, and download a 720p MP4 a couple of minutes later. The motion stays gentle so your icons stay readable. One render costs 20 credits.
