How to stop iPhone from converting HEIC to JPEG when Airdropping to laptop
I want to transfer my images in the original HEIC format to preserve the live effects. Yet everytime I Airdrop anything to my laptop the iPhone insists on converting them either to MOV or JPEG. The laptop is on Mojave and can handle them.
I have occasionally imported images via USB cable into Photos and they come over as HEIC.
I checked the settings on the iPhone and all seems correct:
- Camera: “High Efficiency” is selected under “Formats”
- Photos: “Keep Originals” is selected in the “Transfer to Mac or PC” section. (I tried automatic but it didn’t make any difference.)
Any hints would be much appreciated.
