Preserve Original Format When Uploading on iOS

iOS may convert photos and videos to a more compatible format before they are uploaded via Safari or the PhotoPrism PWA, so PhotoPrism will receive and store the already converted files.

To preserve the original format:

• In the iOS Photos picker, tap the three-dot menu (…) → Options → set Format to Current instead of Automatic so your files are uploaded in the original format.
• Alternatively, use dedicated sync apps like PhotoSync, which can upload files in their original format via WebDAV.
