I only have 4k photos but it takes 62gb, I find it to much for the amount of photos. I have friends with 10k photos and it only takes 16gb

My photos take a huge amount of my storage even my iCloud only has 2k photos and it says it’s full even tho I have 50gb and 2k photos take 48gb of the 50


iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

If your friends are using the High Efficiency (HEIC/HEVC) formats and not you that would explain the difference.


Are you shooting RAW or RAW+ jpeg? Again that would be greater in size.
