Once you are ready to share your GIF you can do so by right-clicking on the image and clicking Share.
You can edit the animation further by adjusting the light or colour using the sliders to the right of the image, or you could try a different Filter by clicking on the Filters tabs above the image and choosing one that you like.
If you aren’t happy, perhaps the beginning of your Loop is not syncing up well with the end, for example, you could try trimming the beginning and end of the Live Photo again.
Try both and choose the one that gives the effect that you are happiest with.
Bounce will play the animation forwards, backwards and so on. Loop will play the animation over and over again from beginning to end. If you’d like to turn your Live Photo into a GIF then click on the arrows and choose Loop or Bounce.
Beside the film roll there is a drop-down menu that will show Live by default.
You can trim the beginning or end off the Live Photo here if you moved the camera at the beginning or end the shot.
Because it’s a Live Photo you will see thumbnails of the film roll below the image.
Once you have located the Live Photo you want to turn into a GIF, open it in Photos by double-clicking on it, and then click on Edit in the top right corner.
There are a number of ways in which you could do this, the simplest would probably be to share via AirDrop and drag it into Photos.
If you don’t have iCloud Photo Library then you should import the photo into Photos.
You can quickly locate your Live Photos in the Live Photos album.
If you have iCloud Photo Library set up then any photos you have taken on your iPhone should be available in your Photo library.
