Handle HEIC images

The mimetype should be any of these image/heif, image/heic, image/heif-sequence, image/heic-sequence. On your server you need to make sure you have imagick installed and enabled. Imagich is a image processing library for PHP.

After that you should be able to use a package like intervention/image to handle the file uploads and convert the image back to jpg.

@BOBBYBOUWMANN - Hi, thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, even after installing intervention/image I'm sstill struggling...I would like to save the image as jpg but I can't make it work.

In my case I receive an array of images through a form:

foreach ($request->file('photos') as $key => $photo) {
    Image::make($photo)->resize(300, 200)->save('path_to_folder/foo.jpg');
}

I get this:

NotReadableException in Decoder.php line 26:
Unable to read image from path (/tmp/phpwwJ3RJ).

Any idea on how to move on?

Mmh, are you sure you have imagick installed and enabled?

Also there are alternative libraries, but they are not build in PHP so you have to run them as a command instead. For example: https://github.com/monostream/tifig

I have the same issue. Imagick works fine with JPEG, PNG, etc. But HEIC images break it. I think there is a way to install imagick specifically with HEIC support but I don't want to break everything and hate doing full re-installs and messing with .ini files if I don't have to. Anybody have any further insight on this?

Any update? I am also stuck with this. Will report back...

Any new idea's? Also stuck with this problem. Clients want to upload images from Iphone in HEIC format.

Yes need this HEIC

Check if your imagemagick version supports heic files like this: php -r "phpinfo();" | grep HEIC or use your browser to show your phpinfo. I installed heic support on my server using this article: https://eplt.medium.com/5-minutes-to-install-imagemagick-with-heic-support-on-ubuntu-18-04-digitalocean-fe2d09dcef1 You can test if your server can handle heic files with this little test mogrify -format jpg YOURIMAGE.heic
