They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but a GIF is worth a million. Or something to that effect, anyway. Google’s taken that to heart and launched Motion Stills, a new free iOS app that takes your Apple Live Photos and turns them into smooth looping animations.
After you capture a live photo (basically a short video) on your iPhone, Motion Stills will figure out optimal start and end points to create a smooth loop and also separate the background from the foreground to ensure that your frame doesn’t look janky.
