How to turn a TikTok or Instagram Reel into a live wallpaper
Güncellendi 2026-06-21
Found a TikTok or Instagram Reel you'd live on your lock screen? iOS won't let you set a video as a wallpaper directly — it has to be a Live Photo. 2Live converts any saved clip into a 4K Live Photo wallpaper, enhanced and processed entirely on your iPhone, so nothing is ever uploaded.
- 1
Save the clip to your Photos
In TikTok or Instagram, tap Share → Save Video (or use a screen recording) so the clip lands in your Photos library. A few seconds of smooth motion works best.

Import it into 2Live
Open 2Live, tap Create, and pick the saved clip from your library — or send it straight to 2Live with the Share extension.

Trim and enhance
Trim to the exact moment you want, then let the on-device AI sharpen and color-enhance it for 4K. Everything runs locally — your video never leaves the phone.

Export as a Live Photo
Tap Export. 2Live saves a Live Photo to your Photos, optimized for the lock screen with ProMotion 120Hz playback on iPhone 13 Pro and later.

Set it as your wallpaper
Go to Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper → Photos, choose the new Live Photo, and confirm the Live Photo toggle (the circular icon) is on. Press and hold the lock screen to watch it play.
Why a video won't set as a wallpaper on its own
iOS lock-screen wallpapers only accept stills or Live Photos — not raw video files. A Live Photo is a short motion clip with a chosen key frame, which is exactly what the lock screen plays when you press and hold. 2Live wraps your TikTok or Reel into that format so iOS accepts it.
Keep it smooth and sharp
Social clips are often compressed and capped at 1080p. 2Live's on-device enhancement upscales toward 4K, cleans up noise, and encodes at a higher bitrate, so the result looks crisp on a Retina display instead of blocky. On ProMotion iPhones the motion plays back at a fluid 120Hz.
Private by design
Unlike web converters that make you upload your footage, 2Live does every step — import, trim, enhance, export — locally on your iPhone. Your videos never touch a server.
Sıkça sorulan sorular
Does my TikTok video get uploaded anywhere?
No. 2Live converts everything on-device, so the clip never leaves your iPhone.
Will there be a watermark on my wallpaper?
2Live doesn't add a watermark. If the original TikTok or Reel has the app's own watermark baked in, save the clip before it's stamped (or trim around it) for the cleanest result.
What clip length works best?
Two to five seconds of smooth motion looks best, since the lock screen plays a short loop when you press and hold.
