Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about creating Live Photos.

What file formats does Dopic generate? +

Dopic generates a paired bundle consisting of a .HEIC file (the still image) and a .MOV file (the short video clip). This is the native format required by iOS for Live Photos.

Is my video uploaded to a server? +

No. For your privacy and speed, all conversion happens directly in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your video data stays on your device at all times.

How do I set this as my iPhone wallpaper? +

Transfer the .HEIC and .MOV files to your iPhone (via AirDrop, iCloud, or Files app). Open the .HEIC file in Photos, tap 'Share', select 'Use as Wallpaper', and choose your preferred location (Lock Screen or Home Screen).

Does the Live Photo have sound? +

Yes, if your original video contains audio, it will be preserved in the .MOV component. However, note that iOS typically mutes Live Photos on the Lock Screen unless you play them via the Music app or share them.

Can I use this on Android? +

While Android doesn't natively support the iOS Live Photo format, you can use the generated .MOV file as a GIF-like background in many Android launcher apps or gallery viewers that support video backgrounds.
