Converting Live Photos to JPG still images is a common need for iPhone users who want to share their photos in a more widely compatible format. A Live Photo captures a few seconds of video along with the image, making it larger in size and less compatible with non-Apple devices. Converting them to JPG helps reduce file size and ensures the photos can be viewed on any device or platform.
If you have the same requirements as the user mentioned above, this guide will explain two straightforward methods to convert live photos to still or convert Live Photos to JPG.
Now, let's start with converting Live Photos to still photos.
To make a Live Photo still directly within the Photos app, follow these steps:
Step 1. Open the Live Photo in your Photos app.
Step 2. Tap "Edit" in the upper-right corner.
Step 3. Turn off Live feature by tapping the Live button at the top of the screen.
Tips: To set a key photo or trim a Live Photo, move the white frame on the frame viewer, tap "Make Key Photo" and then "Done" if you want a key photo. If you want to trim a Live Photo, drag the end of the frame viewer to choose the desired frame.
Converting a Live Photo to a still photo is simple, but doing it for hundreds of photos can be time-consuming. A quicker solution is to use the Qiling MobiMover software, which can convert multiple Live Photos to still photos at once, making the process much faster and simpler.
With this program, you can directly convert all photos to JPG by transferring pictures to your PC or Mac, without compressing their quality.

To convert Live Photos to JPG:
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch Qiling MobiMover, choose "Browse & Transfer" and select "Pictures" and then "Photos" to proceed.
