HEIC Support

A free and open-source plugin for WordPress that adds .heic image support for iPhone & other Apple devices.

Visit wordpress.org/plugins/heic-support for more download options and all discussion.

FEATURES

Allows .heic uploads to the Media Library
Creates a .webp or .jpg copy 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 the page at Media → HEIC Support after activating to see if your server provides ImageMagick.

Saves attachment IDs in meta key _heic_support_copy_of on both the uploaded .heic and the generated copy attachment posts.

Frequent Questions

Are the original HEIC files removed from the Media Library?

No. This plugin does not delete any images from the Media Library. If you have access to wp-cli, this command will permanently delete all HEIC attachment posts (careful!): wp post delete --force $(wp post list --post_type='attachment' --post_mime_type=image/heic --format=ids)

Do I need a license key?

Only if your web host does not allow HEIC Support to convert images on your server. Not all hosts provide the server software needed to convert. Our cloud conversion service allows the plugin to work on any web host and has no subscription. Buy a few credits below and a license key will be generated to use them on any site running HEIC Support.

Cloud Conversion Credits

HEIC Support requires specific server software to operate. If your web host does not support the conversion, use our cloud servers for a few dollars in credits.
