Can I turn a Live Photo into a GIF?

In Photos, set the Live Photo effect to Loop or Bounce; or save it as a video and convert it here.

Where does the GIF go?

To the Downloads folder in Files; long-press it to save it to Photos.

Is there a Shortcut for this?

Yes, the Make GIF shortcut exists, but this page needs nothing installed and lets you pick width and fps.

Convert Video to GIF on iPhone – In Safari, No App

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Open this page in Safari, tap to choose a video and pick it from Photos or Files; iPhone videos (MOV) play fine in Safari. Set where the GIF should start and how long it lasts, up to 15 seconds, then the frame rate and width. Tap Make GIF, check the preview and download it: it goes to Files, and from there you can share it or save it to Photos. Nothing is uploaded and you do not need the Shortcuts app.
