WordPress 6.7 is going to support HEIC image conversion. I’m the author of an HEIC image conversion plugin.
WordPress core will soon convert HEIC, or iOS format, photos during uploads.
My free plugin, HEIC Support, just crossed 3,000 active installs.
Does my copy-or-replace switch remain a useful feature? Do I get obsoleted out of the .org plugin repo on November 12th? Does it shrivel and die quietly? I have no idea. I can’t wait to find out.
I’m not even an iOS user. I’ve never had any .heic images to convert! I wrote the plugin because @austinginder told me WordPress doesn’t accept iPhone photos at a meetup.
When it launched, I wrote, “Someday, we will celebrate the death of this plugin.” Will we?
