Google has released Mobile Still app for the iPhone users, designed to convert Live Photos into GIFs.
Using a linear programming algorithm, the Mobile Still app takes Live Photos and turns them into GIFs or short video clips, which can further be shared via email, message or on another app.
In a blogpost, Ken Conley and Matthias Grundmann from the Google Research Machine Perception team said, 'We use our video stabilization technology to freeze the background into a still photo or create sweeping cinematic pans.’
‘Short videos are perfect for creating loops, so we added loop optimization to bring out the best in your captures,’ they added.
The app works offline and it doesn’t require any Google account to use it. The only requirement is to allow the app to access photos on the device.
The Mobile Still app is available for free on Apple App store.
