In my testing, exporting once as “Loop” and then again as “Bounce” resulted in the first export being replaced when the second one was created, without a warning dialog or anything. One caveat, though: If you choose the same location for both exports, be sure to go and rename the first GIF you create before you make the second.

What you have to do is change the effect your Live Photo is using first, as I’ve described before. The way to actually get this to work, though, isn’t all that obvious. Once you’re done with your selection, tap Add at the top right of your screen. Based on our tests, going beyond 21 photos will result in an error. Go back to the My Shortcuts tab, then tap the Convert Photos to GIF shortcut. The power lies within Photos’ “File” menu, under Export > Export GIF. Go to the Gallery tab, then find Convert photos to GIF. ![]() The Mac’s Photos program has a nifty new-ish way that you can export Live Photos as animated GIFs, so if that’s your thing…well, now you can do that thing.
