iPhone Live Wallpaper

9:16 MP4 for iPhone live wallpaper setup

iPhone Live Wallpaper focuses on the 9:16 portrait aspect ratio used by current iPhone models for their lock screen and home screen. Outputs stay in the same proportions as the iPhone display, with options up to 15 seconds and up to 4K MP4, so less cropping is needed when you apply them. You write a prompt describing the subject, mood, and style you want; the AI generates the animation from scratch. The resulting file downloads to your device as MP4/WebM. To use it as an iPhone Live Photo wallpaper, convert the MP4 with a third-party iOS app such as intoLive, Save Live Photo, or a similar tool, then set it from iOS Settings > Wallpaper. The conversion and final Set Wallpaper step happen inside iOS.

How it works

1. 1

   Write a prompt describing your wallpaper

   Describe the subject, mood, color palette, and any motion you want. Vertical portrait compositions with a clear focal point work best for iPhone screens.

2. 2

   AI generates a 9:16 animated MP4

   The generator outputs a 9:16 short-loop MP4 or WebM matching the iPhone screen ratio. Default settings stay lightweight, while premium output options can go up to 4K MP4.

3. 3

   Download and apply on your iPhone

   Save the MP4 to your device, convert it to a Live Photo with an app such as intoLive, then set it from iOS Settings > Wallpaper. The conversion and the final Set Wallpaper step both happen inside iOS.

What you need to set it on iPhone

This generator outputs MP4 and WebM files, not Apple Live Photo files. iPhones do not natively accept MP4 as a live wallpaper through the standard Settings > Wallpaper flow. To set the generated video as an animated wallpaper on iPhone, you need a third-party shortcut or app — for example intoLive, Save Live Photo, or a similar tool available on the App Store. Those apps convert the MP4 into a Live Photo that your iPhone can then apply from Settings > Wallpaper. This conversion-and-set workflow is documented step by step in the section below. The conversion and the Set Wallpaper step both happen inside iOS, and whether the Live Photo plays on the Lock Screen depends on your iPhone model and iOS version. This page never claims a pure web one-step iPhone Live Photo.

What this tool does not do

This tool does not auto-install a live wallpaper on your iPhone. It does not generate Apple-format Live Photos (.livp) directly — the output is MP4 or WebM. It does not bypass the App Store step; you need a third-party app to complete the conversion. It is not a full video editor; the animation is a short ambient or motion loop, not a custom multi-scene clip.

How to use the MP4 on iPhone

iPhone wallpaper rules are tighter than Android, but the path is reliable once you know the steps. Generate and download the MP4, convert it to a Live Photo, then set it from iOS Settings — here is the full documented workflow and its limits.

• Download the MP4 or WebM from this page to your iPhone. It is a standard video file, not an Apple Live Photo yet.
• Open a trusted converter app such as intoLive (App Store), import the MP4, and export it as a Live Photo. The app saves it into your Photos library.
• Open Settings > Wallpaper > Add New Wallpaper, choose Photos, pick the Live Photo you saved, and keep the Live Photo (motion) option turned on.
• Whether the Live Photo animates on the Lock Screen depends on your iPhone model, your iOS version, and the Lock Screen setting. On supported models the motion plays when you press and hold the Lock Screen.
• The Live Photo conversion and the final Set Wallpaper step always happen inside iOS. This page documents the workflow but never claims a pure web one-step iPhone Live Wallpaper.

Apple Support: Change the wallpaper on iPhone

Tip: pick a clip with a clear key frame — iOS uses one frame as the still image. If the motion does not play, confirm your iPhone model supports Live wallpaper motion and that Reduce Motion is off in Accessibility settings.
