# Beavery

> Beavery turns one video into as many Live Photos, GIFs, videos and full-quality stills as you want, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with the media processed on your device.

Platforms: iPhone and iPad with iOS / iPadOS 18 or later, Mac with macOS 15 or later. One App Store app covers all three; there is no separate download.

Status: not yet on the App Store (prelaunch); the site collects emails to announce the release.

What it makes: from one video, any number of Live Photos (any length you choose, with any frame as the cover), GIFs, video clips and full-quality stills, collected in one list and exported together; a Live Photo can become a video, a GIF or a still; a photo can become a Live Photo. HDR, sound, capture date and place are kept by default.

Price: free to download; making results and exporting one at a time are free. Beavery Pro ($2.99 once or $1.99 a year) exports several results in one go; the first batch export is free.

Privacy: videos and photos are processed on the device and are not uploaded.

Website languages: en, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja, ko, de, fr, it, es, pt-BR, ru. Every page URL starts with the language, e.g. /en/mac.
