Add Photo to Video (on iPhone)

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.
