You can go back to any step without losing what you already made.
Describe
Type the scene. Pick a look, or skip it. Attach a photo if you have one in mind.
Animate
Watch the image you chose start moving. Don't like the motion? Try another without losing the picture.
Save
It lands in your photo library as a Live Photo, ready to set as your Lock Screen.
Looks

Your next Lock Screen
Exploring iPhone 18 live wallpapers?
Start with the look you want: an animated cosmic sky, an anime landscape, or a moment from your own video. AI Live Wallpaper creates Live Photos for the iPhone Lock Screen, with twelve styles to explore.
iPhone 18 Pro & iPhone 18 Pro Max
Looking for an iPhone 18 Pro live wallpaper or an iPhone 18 Pro Max animated wallpaper? Browse the styles above, then use the app to describe your scene or convert a video into a Live Photo.
Before installing on a new model, check the App Store compatibility requirements and confirm that the exported Live Photo offers motion in your Lock Screen preview.
iPhone Duo live wallpaper
For an iPhone Duo wallpaper, choose a composition that keeps the subject clear around the clock. Preview the crop on the display where you plan to use it before setting the wallpaper.
Model-specific testing has not been confirmed for iPhone Duo, including its inner and outer displays. Check the App Store listing for current app requirements.
Device information checked September 10, 2026. Apple has announced iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max and iPhone Duo; these announcements do not establish app compatibility. For setup, see the Live Photo wallpaper guide.

Questions
Answers.
Can I make live wallpaper for iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max?
AI Live Wallpaper lets you generate an image with AI, animate it, or convert your own video into a Live Photo. Check the App Store listing for current compatibility before installing on iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max. Model-specific testing has not been confirmed; check motion in the Lock Screen preview before setting the wallpaper.
Does AI Live Wallpaper support iPhone Duo live wallpapers?
iPhone Duo-specific testing has not been confirmed. Check the current App Store requirements and preview the Live Photo on the display where you will use it. Support for motion and cropping on both the inner and outer displays should not be assumed.
How do I find iPhone 18 live wallpaper styles?
Explore the twelve style previews, including Cosmic, Aurora, Anime, Neon and Minimal. In the app, swipe to browse and tap a style to open New Wallpaper with that look selected. The phrase iPhone 18 can refer broadly to searches about the new generation; check the exact device model and current App Store compatibility.
How do I make a live wallpaper on my iPhone?
Two ways, both inside the app. Describe the scene you want and let it generate one for you, or pick a video from your library and convert it. Either way you end up with a Live Photo in your photo library, which you then set as your Lock Screen from Photos.
Why is my Live Photo not moving on the Lock Screen?
Check that the Live Photo playback button is enabled when setting the Lock Screen wallpaper. Also check Low Power Mode and whether iOS offers motion for that particular Live Photo. A video playing in Photos does not by itself confirm that it can animate as wallpaper.
Can I turn a video into a live wallpaper?
Yes, and it's free. Pick any clip from your library, scrub to the second you want, and export. Portrait, landscape or square all work — it's fitted to your Lock Screen for you. This runs entirely on your iPhone, so nothing is uploaded and there's no limit.
Is it free?
Turning your own videos into live wallpapers is free and unlimited. Generating a new scene with AI uses credits, because that runs on servers: a subscription gives you 300 credits a week or 1,200 a month, and you can also buy credit packs on their own.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no email, no password and no sign-in. The app just works when you open it.
Will the wallpaper look like the picture I picked?
Yes. The image you approve is the one that appears on your Lock Screen — the motion is added to that exact picture, not to a re-imagined version of it.
Which iPhones does it work on?
The app requires iOS 18 or later. Check the App Store listing for supported devices; the operating-system requirement alone does not confirm Live Photo wallpaper motion on every model. Device-specific testing for iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo has not been confirmed.
Do live wallpapers drain the battery?
Live Photo wallpaper motion plays briefly when the device wakes rather than continuously. Battery use varies with your device and settings; the app does not promise a particular battery impact.
Can I save just the picture, without the motion?
Yes. You can save the still image on its own — useful for the Home Screen — or save the animation as a plain video to share.
