Uploading .heic and .heif image types not supported or not working?

[Kellarn]

Hello!

I am trying to get my uppy to be able to upload .heic and .heif images. Both when specifically adding allowedFileTypes: ['image/heif', 'image/heic'] and when trying with allowedFileTypes: ['image/*', 'video/*'] it still doesn't detect my .heic images as an image. I need to let my users only be able to upload images! I looked into your release https://uppy.io/blog/2017/07/0.17/ and search the provided list https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml where heic exists, but I can't get it to work.

Is there an issue or is .heic and .heif just not supported?

Best regards,
Sebastian

we rely on the browser to detect most mime types, they may not detect heic/heif correctly. That blog post may not be entirely accurate anymore, a lot changed in Uppy in 2 years :)

You can explicitly whitelist them by extension:

allowedFileTypes: ['image/*', '.heic',  '.heif']

Hi there, did @goto-bus-stop's suggestion work for you? If it did, we could perhaps add these extensions to Uppy's whitelist and make them work for all? Do let us know if you have additional feedback and we'll re-open this issue (closing in the meantime).

heic preview is not working

Unfortunately, browser preview doesn't work because .heic isn't supported by any browsers as of this post (not even safari): https://caniuse.com/?search=HEIC

@oliviasculley do you mean we should change something in Uppy regarding this, or just confirming the fact? thanks :)

There were a couple thumbs up on the heic preview not working comment so didn't want to leave them hanging 😅
