Formats of pictures supported in forum

I’ve just noticed that HEIC is not supported here in forum while it’s supported for upload in airport database.

Windows 10 doesn’t even support HEIC fully yet.

E.g., HEIC stored in OneDrive is automatically converted to JPEG.

Like any new format, it will take some time before it works without hustle.

ESME, ESMS

I got HEIC added while the guy was working on picture processing, and we are using Imagemagick which already does it, along with many other formats. I also got CR2 (the Canon RAW format) added. And we had some “fun” with this since rotation tags are incorrectly generated by some cameras

Everything is converted to Jpeg because asking client browsers to display the formats would be dodgy.

I am slowly collecting this year’s list of things for David to do and when I get a day’s worth I will put it forward. However nobody before has requested HEIC. Is it really getting used more? In the airport database, only one user has ever uploaded HEIC

AFAIK, the EuroGA forum also uses Imagemagick but an older version.

It’s used by iPhone but when you upload it directly from the phone to EuroGA forum it’s somehow converted JPEG. If you share it to Mac via airdrop it remains HEIC and then you can’t upload it from Mac to forum.
