Bulk Upload Live Photo support
I downloaded all of my photos off of icloud but for each photo there is a .mov file of the same name which is the corresponding live photo. Will build upload recognize this or will I just have to delete all the live photos before upload to prevent duplicates?

I think it should recognize them, you might want to try just uploading one pair first to check
I’m doing the same and works just fine. The MOV and HEIC file have IDs in the metadata and that makes Immich to combine them as ‘motion photos’ Live Photos always consist of a HQ still and a video file.
Yep, it worked thanks! Also when downloading from icloud.com should I use highest resolution or most compatible downlaod settings. Like will immich work with HEIC ok?
Yes. I use icloudpd to download directly from iCloud.com for all my family. I leave everything as is, so default (high quality) HEIC file and the accompanying MOV file. When applicable (and I’m bored 😅) I delete the MOV file if I don’t need the video part (saves space)
IMO always use the highest resolution, or if you export from the photos app use the export originals. I never compromise on image quality
Alright, thanks I just didn't want to do anything wrong
