You probably:
- Have a video
- In which you want to insert/add a photo
- Using just your iPhone
Our guide teaches you how to do that for free, without any payment.
There ware two ways to interpret this:
1. Overlay a Photo on the video → Adding a photo on top of the video.
2. Add it to the timeline → Adding a photo next to the video.
We’ll cover both options.
However, most people are here for the first thing, so we’ll begin with that.
How to Add a Photo to a Video (on iPhone)
1. Overlay Photo on Video
Answer: The best way to add photos to your video using an iPhone is to go to the ‘sendshort.ai’ website and do it for free with AI.
- Create a free SendShort account.
- Upload a video.
- Go to “Elements” > “Images“
- Insert your photo(s)
That’s really the whole process.
When finished, click “Export” and download your edited video.
Pro Tip: You can also add colored subtitles to your video in SendShort. That’ll make it more engaging and keep people hooked to your video.
2. Add Photo to Video Timeline
The easiest way to add a photo to a video on iPhone is to use iMovie, Apple’s free video editor. Download it, open a video, then insert photos.
- Download iMovie on the App Store (it’s free).
- Open the app.
- Import your video.
- Tap the video →
That’s right about it!
You can add as many images as you need — iMovie won’t limit you.
