How to change Live Photos

Good morning. My iCloud is full of photos. I would like to download them to my laptop. However, the live photos are being downloaded as videos. Can anyone tell me how to change the live photos back to normal pictures?

Thank you

Hi AndrewSmith1990,

For help with changing live photos to a still for importing, the information below found in the article here can assist: Edit Live Photos on iPhone

"Edit a Live Photo

In addition to using the photo editing tools (like adding filters or cropping a photo) you can also change the key photo, trim the length, or mute the sound in your Live Photos.

A Live Photo screen with the Live Photo in the center. The Live button is in the top middle, and the Sound button in the top left. Beneath the photo is the frame viewer with the Make Key Photo button active. On either end of the frame viewer are two arrows that allow you to trim the Live Photo.

Open the Live Photo and tap Edit.
Tap , then do any of the following:

Set a key photo: Move the white frame on the frame viewer, tap Make Key Photo, then tap Done.
Trim a Live Photo: Drag either end of the frame viewer to choose the frames the Live Photo plays.
Make a 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.
Mute a Live Photo: Tap at the top of the screen. Tap again to unmute."

Cheers.
