## What is LitePhoto?

Running out of iPhone storage? Live Photos are beautiful, but they take up 2-3x more space than regular photos. LivePhotoConverter extracts the perfect still image and discards the video, freeing up 50-80% storage while preserving every detail.

WHAT IT DOES
  • Converts Live Photos to high-quality HEIC still images
  • Saves 50-80% storage per photo
  • Preserves ALL metadata: EXIF, GPS, HDR, color profiles
  • Batch conversion for multiple photos at once
  • Fast, on-device processing (no upload required)

PRIVACY FIRST
  • 100% offline – photos never leave your device
  • No analytics, tracking, or data collection
  • No account or sign-up required
  • Photos processed locally using Apple frameworks

PERFECT PRESERVATION
  Unlike other converters, we preserve EVERYTHING:
  • Original resolution and quality
  • GPS location data
  • HDR gain maps (for HDR photos from iPhone 12+)
  • Camera settings (ISO, shutter speed, lens)
  • Date, time, and timestamps
  • Color profiles (Display P3, sRGB)

BUILT FOR SPEED
  • Convert a photo in under 2 seconds
  • Batch process multiple Live Photos efficiently
  • Low memory usage, won't slow down your phone
  • Clean, intuitive interface

HOW MUCH SPACE WILL I SAVE?
  • Standard Live Photo: ~6-8 MB → 2-3 MB (60% savings)
  • HDR Live Photo: ~10-12 MB → 3-4 MB (70% savings)
  • 100 Live Photos ≈ 500 MB saved!

PERFECT FOR
  • Freeing up iPhone storage before a trip
  • Keeping high-quality photos without the motion
  • Archiving memories in smaller file sizes
  • Anyone with iCloud storage limits

HOW IT WORKS
  1. Select Live Photos from your library
  2. Tap Convert – we extract the still image
  3. Converted photos are saved as new assets
  4. Original Live Photos remain untouched (you can delete them if you want)
