Removing live feature from multiple photos

Hello all. I want to remove the live feature from my 8000 photos and it’s very hard to do it one by one. Do you know if there is a way I can remove it from all at once? I don’t have a Mac computer so that wouldn’t be an option.

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Do you want to remove the live effect to save storage? Converting the Live Photo to a still frame will not save any storage, because it can be reverted, so the video component will be saved. You should only disable the Live Effect, if you do not like it and prefer a still frame.

To save storage, enable iCloud Photos and "Optimize Storage". The video components of the live Photos are among the first items that will get optimised.
