App Profile: Live Cutter

Convert a live photo into a photo and/or a video.

Live Photos™ is an interesting feature of iOS. Because it is a fusion of a photo and a video, it has larger file size than a photo. Live Cutter can extract a photo and/or a video from a live photo. Therefore, you can convert a live photo into a photo by extracting a photo from that live photo and delete it.

You can save storage space.

► You can see each file size of a still image and a video within a live photo
► You can get a image from a live photo
► You can get a video from a live photo
► You can get the original image/video from an edited live photo.
► No image quality loss. Image information such as date taken is also kept.
► Playback button allow you to play/stop the live effect easily. Mute switch is also available.
► Easy to compare two live photos when disable the auto playback of the live effect.
► Good view quality. You can check each pixels.
► Dynamic Type compatible.

Additionally, Live Cutter can find a photo which was taken as a live photo, but edited to disable the live effect. This former live photo is like a photo, but it keeps an unused video inside. You can delete this video with Live Cutter.

Now, you are free to worry about the live icon status when you take a picture. Always take a live photo, and convert it to a photo if the live effect is not necessary.
