Meural and Live Photos

Question

Has anyone figured out a solution to not have Live Photos animate on their Meural?All of my pictures are from my phone and the photos animate on my canvas which doesn’t look that great.

Can you provide additional information relating to the animation?

Are you adding some of the animated images from the meural subscription service (they all animate poorly as they are often 3-5 frames that step through slowly, as compared to sinegraphs where you may have a portion of the image that animates at 30-60FPS)?

I am talking about Apple Live Photo’s. These automatically animate which is annoying when displayed on the canvas.

Are you able to go through each live photo, and then use the edit function to create a key photo of each live image, then check if the camera app generates a jpeg that you can then send to the canvas?

Or see if it has an option to duplicate as a still image.

This is possible but it is very manual and requires me to edit each photo one-at-a-time.&nbsp; &nbsp;Apple also does not make this easy for Live Photos.&nbsp; Also, I want to keep the picture as a Live Photo on the phone.&nbsp; The animation does not look good onthe Canvas so I only want a still photo on the Canvas.&nbsp;What we need is for the abiliy for the Meural App to specify whether a photo should be imported as a Live Photo or not.&nbsp; This would save a lot of time and make it easier for most users.&nbsp;Unless anyone knows of a good workaround?&nbsp; I have hundreds of photos that I want to get into a new Canvas for my mom's Mother's Day present and editing each photo to remove Live Photos animation is not something I want to do.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I will check around for a sample live photo captured by a apple device. Since the controls on meural are limited, and its online editor also takes many steps, it would be worth checking if there is a simple way to batch convert the images.
