Support for HEIC

[mesqueeb]

On the website I can't seem to drag and drop .HEIC images (from iPhone camera roll)

Is this library supported when a user uploads an image via iPhone camera roll? (therefore the image is probably HEIC)

This is not a problem with Compressor.js, but your operating system or browser!

[fengyuanchen]

Please check out if your operating system or browser supports HEIC files.

Yes, it's Safari browser and macOS operating system. Both Apple products :)

I have run into the same issue with Safari browser. The weird part is that it said 'Failed to load the image', but the input image section got the information.

This is interesting because the mime type is actually image/gif, which this library doesn't support...

[fengyuanchen]

Actually, there are no browsers that support HEIC images currently.

Browser compatibility: https://caniuse.com/heif

Hm I wonder why compressor.js converted my heic to image/gif. Either way, gifs aren't supported here either so oh well. @umihui There is a JS library for converting HEICs to gif, jpg, and png if you're interested.

this issue is pinned but it's not obvious to me what the current state of HEIC in this lib is
