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. ## Screenshots * [[ * The settings are located at Settings Media HEIC Support in the dashboard. ## Installation 1. Upload the entire `heic-support` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen (**Plugins Installed Plugins**). Check the page at Media HEIC Support after activating to see if your server provides ImageMagick 7. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b8b5d05f16c9f7a56e2e008a523e8bbb27f52a91f8692e8265f2831d7063f2d7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin | Gets the Job Done](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-gets-the-job-done-10/)󠁿 [Generosus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/generosus/) July 12, 2024 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! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d032f66d7c1de2b875cb27a7d92a5a1cd0b9fda2ddb9d9c79bc16d36898f9c5c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very useful and easy to set up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-and-easy-to-set-up-2/)󠁿 [is0ph](https://profiles.wordpress.org/is0ph/) March 19, 2024 If your contributors are Mac users, this plugin makes their lives (and yours) easier. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/08ef5ef50515fd55bba25c9a6a1174cf6859682e463f3326f09d030685bc9347? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Finally someone is willing to launch a plugin for HEIC support, thank you](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/finally-someone-is-willing-to-launch-a-plugin-for-heic-support-thank-you/)󠁿 [sheldonng](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sheldonng/) January 11, 2023 It would be better if you can add an option to generate JPEG files when uploading [ Read all 3 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/heic-support/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “HEIC Support” is open source software.
