Versions:
Live Photo Box CLI is a command-line utility developed by LengxiQwQ that merges image and video files into live photos, with the current release being version 2.2.1 across a total of four published versions. A live photo is a single file containing both a still image and a short video; when viewed in a supported gallery application, the video portion plays automatically, giving the appearance of a photograph that comes to life. The tool produces live photos compatible with the gallery applications of HUAWEI, Samsung, Google, Apple, Xiaomi, and vivo devices, making it suitable for users who want their creations to work across a wide range of smartphone ecosystems. Its primary use case is combining an existing photograph with a corresponding short video clip so that the result can be stored and viewed as one unified live photo rather than as two separate media files. This is useful for photographers and content creators who capture both stills and motion footage of the same moment, for users migrating media between devices or platforms, and for anyone who wants to prepare personalized content for smartphone galleries that support the live photo format. As a command-line utility, it fits naturally into scripted or automated workflows, allowing batch processing and integration with other tools without requiring a graphical interface. Categorized as a media conversion and photo utility, Live Photo Box CLI addresses the technical challenge of packaging still images and videos into the specific container formats expected by each manufacturer's gallery software. The description accompanying the project, "Merge images & videos into live photos for smartphone galleries," summarizes its function: taking separate image and video inputs and producing a single live photo file that supported gallery applications recognize and play back seamlessly.
