How to stop files from downloading as zip

Some photos I click on to download from icloud will save as a jpg file to my folder of choice and some will save as a winzip file. Very frustrating. Feb 27, AM. Page content loaded. Feb 28, PM. Mar 23, PM in response to zippy In response to zippy I appreciate your answer, and certainly you are seeing this the way I have--that it creates several extra steps just to get to the image files.

I will send my feedback--maybe yours along with it. I think this is a real step backwards. Related: As to download speeds, are you aware that "Live photos" are much larger files than not-Live photos?

IMO, the Live photo is sort of a gimmick--cool in a way, but usually not very useful and not worth the big leap in file size. Practically as soon as I started using Live photos--I started getting "storage full" messages. You can turn Live photos off. Mar 23, PM.

Its not faster, its slower, its a pain and I hate it. Please go back to the simple download file, and there it is. No extra steps. Mar 28, AM. At least you can download the individual photos. The ideal would be to be able to simply transfer the images from my Xr to my PC, like I used to be able to do with my 6 Plus. Is that no longer possible? Is this Apple's way to force us to use iCloud? Mar 30, PM in response to zippy In response to zippy Mar 30, PM.
