Bulk edit of Live Photos to regular photos

I didn't notice that Camera had a default setting of Live Photo being enabled.

I didn't want Live Photos; I just want regular photos.

I want to convert all of my Live Photos to plain old regular photos.

Is there a way I can do this in a bulk edit rather than having to go into each photo and edit it?

You have to turn the Live effect off individually: Edit Live Photos on iPhone - Apple Support

Still photo: Tap the Live button at the top of the screen to turn off the Live feature. The Live Photo becomes a still of its key photo.

To disable the Live Effect in the Camera permanently, go to the settings and turn Preserve Camera Settings on for Live Photos. It is a bit confusing, that "Live Photos" needs to be on in Settings, to prevent the the iPhone from coming up with the default "Live Photo on" and keep it turned off: Use the camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings.
Turn on any of the following:

- Camera Mode: Preserve the last camera mode you used, such as Video or Pano.
- Creative Controls: Preserve the last filter, lighting option (on supported models), or depth setting (on supported models) you used.
- Live Photo: Preserve the Live Photo setting.
