Title: HEIC Format
Post by: Terry-M on January 18, 2023, 10:36:22 AM
One for Mike:
I was sent some High Efficiency Image File Format images from an iPhone to process & print but QU cannot open them. I used Affinity Photo to convert to JPEG's so I am now able to print.
Is there ay possibility that QU will be able to process these images in the Future?

Those are already supported.  What is the file extension on the files you are using?  It's my understanding that Apple uses .heic for the file extension?

Regards,
Mike

Whoops, a typo, it is .HEIC, not lower case.
See screen shot of icon attched.

Yeah, those are supported.  You may need an HEVC Video Codec for Windows.  If you want to post a link to a sample, I can see if it works.

Per my post above, if it doesn't work for you, you probably don't have the HEVC codec installed.  I found the direct link to it:
