Allows .heic uploads to the Media Library. Creates .webp or .jpg copies of .heic images when they are uploaded. An optional feature replaces the original upload instead of creating a copy.
Creation of .webp or .jpg copies usually works on servers running ImageMagick 7 or above. Check Settings → Media → HEIC Support after activating to see if your server provides ImageMagick.
Out of curiosity (and for future planning), we installed this plugin to confirm it effectively converts HEIC images to either JPG or WebP images. Well, it certainly does!
This plugin works out-of-the-box and gets the job done. Simply make sure your host server has the ImageMagick module installed and activated. The plugin’s installation instructions provide the necessary guidance to verify the module is installed.
Thank you for this great plugin!
If your contributors are Mac users, this plugin makes their lives (and yours) easier.
It would be better if you can add an option to generate JPEG files when uploading
