Apple should probably accept `.HEIC` uploads

2026-11-07

You ever take a photo of a document for some official process and then had to convert from .HEIC to something that websites will actually accept before you could upload it? I sure have. Understandable when it’s a website run by normies but today I was sorting out my official documentation for an App Store release and had the same problem.


   Name Identification Document
   Upload a copy of business or court documentation that confirms your name.
   Document Language
   English (UK)
   Upload Documents
   Drag Documents here, or click to browse files on your computer (PDF, JPEG, or PNG only, maximum 10MB)

I dunno I thought that was quite damning, really. HEIC has had 9 years to win the world over and it hasn’t even won the whole of Apple over yet.
