Good question!

No, it will not. After doing this, you would have the option to revert back to the original Live Photo.

So if your goal is to reduce space, then copy the still photo somewhere, delete the Live Photo, and use that still photo instead.

In Photos, tap "Edit" while viewing a Live Photo. The tap "Live" at the top to turn it off.

Will this delete extra photos (the same one) / reduce photo size ?

Last question,

If I’ll copy / make a new still photo as described , will it save the photo’s metadata ?
