Most WordPress hosts already run ImageMagick 7 with libheif, which is all that is needed to convert .heic locally. After activating, open Settings Media HEIC Support to see a live test conversion for your own server. * Allows .heic and .heif uploads to the Media Library * Automatically creates a .webp or .jpg copy of every .heic upload * Optionally replaces the original upload instead of keeping a copy * Choose your output format: .webp (smaller files) or .jpg (most compatible) * No configuration required. Just activate and upload ### Host can’t convert? Convert on any server (optional, paid) Some budget or locked-down hosts don’t include the libraries needed to read .heic. If the test at Settings Media shows your server can’t convert on its own, HEIC Support can hand the job to our cloud conversion service, so your uploads still get a .webp or .jpg copy on any host, without installing more software. Cloud conversion is entirely optional and opt-in. You only need it if your server can’t convert locally. Buy a pack of conversion credits, paste your license key at Settings Media, and switch it on. One credit converts one image, and packs start at 3 conversions for $5.99. [Get conversion credits](https://breakfastco.xyz/heic-support/). The free plugin always works for free whenever your server can convert. Cloud conversion never runs unless you buy credits, save a key, and turn it on. ## Screenshots [⌊The settings at Settings > Media > HEIC Support in the dashboard on a server that supports free conversion to .jpg or .webp.⌉⌊The settings at Settings > Media > HEIC Support in the dashboard on a server that supports free conversion to .jpg or .webp .⌉[ The settings at Settings > Media > HEIC Support in the dashboard on a server that supports free conversion to .jpg or .webp.

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 Settings Media after activating to see if your server provides ImageMagick 7. ### External services This plugin’s optional, opt-in cloud conversion feature connects to an external service operated by Breakfast (breakfastco.xyz). With no license key saved, the plugin does not contact any external service. **Credit balance checks.** After you save a license key at Settings Media, the plugin may contact breakfastco.xyz to fetch your remaining conversion credit balance. This request is made when the settings page is displayed (and the result is cached for about 10 minutes) so the plugin can show how many credits you have left. It sends your license key and your site URL. This happens even if “Cloud Conversion” is not yet enabled. **Cloud conversion.** When you have saved a license key and enabled “Cloud Conversion” at Settings Media, the plugin sends your license key and your site URL to breakfastco. xyz to reserve conversion credits and perform a conversion. The plugin uploads the. heic image file to the conversion server, which returns the converted .webp or . jpg image. Uploaded images are processed in memory and the temporary files are deleted immediately after conversion; they are not stored or shared. Use of the cloud conversion service is governed by the Breakfast Privacy Policy ( https://breakfastco.xyz/privacy-policy/). ## 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/) Hulyo 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/) Marso 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/) Enero 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.

Enter a license key and enable it at Settings Media; converts .heic uploads via the Breakfast cloud conversion service using purchased credits.
