How to remove motion from iPhone photos?

Save space on iPhone by deleting Live Photos before creating images that don’t need this feature.

Thanks to the iOS Live Photos feature, we can appreciate a few seconds of movement and sound in our images, before capturing the final result.

And although it is a functionality that we can take advantage of creatively, it is also one that takes up more storage space than a traditional photo. This disadvantage would be one of the main reasons to remove motion from iPhone photos. And perhaps, the same reason why the space on your iPhone seems insufficient.

Disabling the movement of iPhone photos makes a significant difference in the storage required. On an iPhone 13, a photo with Live Photos occupies approximately 13 megabytes. Of this sum, 5 megabytes correspond to the still image and another 8 megabytes to the video file. So turning the feature off would save about 8 megabytes per file.

When removing motion from iPhone photos, we can choose to do it before a particular photo or series of photos, or turn it off permanently.
