Livephoto Extractor

Description

Livephoto Extractor is a robust project aimed at enhancing the viewing of live photos from certain Android devices. Like the iPhone, some Android devices can capture live photos, which consist of a still image alongside a short, dynamic video. However, when these live photos are viewed on a PC, only the static image can be seen, and the accompanying video is inaccessible. The Livephoto Extractor project is dedicated to solving this issue, enabling the splitting of the still image and dynamic video parts of the live photo for a comprehensive viewing experience.

Features

• Live Photo Splitting: This is the main feature of this project. It allows users to separate the static image from the dynamic video captured in a live photo. This way, users can enjoy the full content of their live photos on their PCs.
