Convert photos to original format

When I got my iPhone 8 plus, I did not know that the photo color setting was on Dramatic Warm instead of Original mode. I was never happy with the quality of my photos until I discovered this. Now I need to convert two years worth of photos back to Original mode. Is there a way to convert all photos to Original mode versus changing them individually?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

Sorry, no, you have to revert each photo individually to the original version. Open the photo in Edit mode, then tap the filters tab, select "Original" and "Done".


if you have a Mac, and synced the photos to your Mac with iCloud Photos, you can select all photos at once, then export them with "File > Export > Export unmodified original". This will save the original versions without the filter applied. Delete all exported photos from Photos,empty "recently Deleted", then reimport them to Photos. The filters will be gone.
