Turn any photo into a Live Photo
Tada is a Live Photo maker for iPhone. Pick a photo from your camera roll, tap Make it Live, and save it to Photos as a real Live Photo. Touch and hold it there to see it move.
How to make a Live Photo from a photo
- Open Tada and tap Make it Live, then pick a photo. Any photo works: one you took, a screenshot, an old picture you saved.
- Choose how it moves. Breathe makes people breathe softly and Puff puffs up whatever you tap. These are made on your phone in about a second. Natural and Lively use AI to make the whole scene move, in 20–40 seconds.
- Tap Save. Your tada goes to Photos as a Live Photo, ready to send in Messages.
Why not just use the Photos app?
The Photos app plays Live Photos your camera already took, but it can’t make a still photo move. Tada makes the movement and saves it the same way your camera does, so it works everywhere a Live Photo does. To loop or bounce it afterwards, see how to make a Live Photo loop.
Free or AI
Breathe and Puff are free, as many as you like. Natural and Lively use 1 AI tada each: you get 3 free, and Tada Pro gives you 30 a month (15 a week on the weekly plan). If an AI tada doesn’t work, you aren’t charged.
