Special case of the HEIC format

HEIC is an image format supported in Piwigo since version 14. It is the default file format generated on iOS and on some Android phones.

HEIC files cannot be displayed in a web browser: Piwigo therefore generates a preview of the file.

To enable support for the HEIC format if you host your own Piwigo, you must add it via the LocalFiles Editor plugin.

If you haven't already done so, you must first enable the upload_form_all_types parameter as shown below.
Copy

$conf[‘upload_form_all_types’] = true;

Next, you must add heic to the $conf[‘file’] parameter as in the example below.
Copy

$conf[‘file_ext’] = array_merge(
  $conf[‘picture_ext’],
  array(‘jpg’,'jpeg',‘png’,'gif',‘heic’)
  );

⚠️
To support HEIC files, you may need to update your server's operating system if you are using a self-hosted Piwigo.
