About HEIC Support

This plugin allows you to upload .heic images to your WordPress Media Library and automatically creates .webp or .jpg versions of these images. You have the option to replace the original upload with the converted image. Make sure your server is running ImageMagick 7 or above for the conversion process to work properly, which can be checked in the Settings > Media > HEIC Support section after activating the plugin.
