Play Live Photos in Photos on Mac

With some models of iPhone, you can shoot Live Photos, which capture a still image and a short video that shows the moments just before and after the image.

A Live Photo with a smiling woman and a Live Photo badge in the upper-left corner.

In the Photos app on your Mac, play the action in a Live Photo, do one of the following:

Open Photos for me

  • Position the pointer over a Live Photo thumbnail.

  • Double-click a Live Photo thumbnail to view it individually, then position the pointer over the Live Photo badge.

    If you double-click a Live Photo that is set to Loop, Bounce, or Long Exposure, the Live Photo plays immediately.

For information about editing a Live Photo or converting it to a still image, see Change a Live Photo.
