iCloud downloading low resolution images to PC

The videos on my iPhone are 4K, but iCloud for Windows 11 is only downloading 1280 x 720. Those are unusable garbage. What Apple tool will keep the files in sync properly?


I don't want to pay Apple for ever increasing iCloud usage. I want my files on my PC.

Windows, Windows 6

I have this same issue and have spent too many hours trying to resolve. An interesting thing is that photos taken in Portrait mode are in icloud photos/downloads to my PC in both full resolution AND a 2nd edited version at 53-57% resolution of original. Ridiculous that regular photos that come though to my PC via icloud photos/download at only 25-30% resolution- yeah crap for any large prints. And yes there is workaround via logging into icloud and downloading it with options ( or emailing from iphone photos). And I know this is different than it was before I bought my iphone 14Pro in February! It's either something in phone or something in an IOS update. Really ******* me off though.
