I'm trying to get an example of a live photo in it's original format (ie HEIC) from my phone but no matter what I do, it seems to only transfer a single JPG. Does anyone have a sample HEIC file that is from a Live Photo (ie not single images or different images in an HEIC)?
What have you tried? And what are the Settings > Camera on your iPhone?
The Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC will determine, if the HEIC file will be converted to a JPEG, when you transfer it. To download the Live Photo you need to download both the HEIC still frame and the HEVC video component together. There may also be an .AAE sidecar file with the adjustments.
To transfer the HEIC and HEVC files without being converted to JPEGs, ensure Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac or PC is set to "Keep Originals".
