More info on the Microsoft HEIC extension codec can be found here: You can get the Microsoft HEIF codec at this link which should allow you to re-install it if you want or need to (although it might come included in the next and future updates but I don't know):

I don't have Windows 10, and when I was searching for info on HEIC and found that the latest Windows 10 updates might have a codec with it I didn't see anything about the CopyTrans codec uninstalling the one that came with the Windows 10 update.

So, in case some might find it useful, here is the link to the site where you can download the codec:Īnd if you think it's a good idea to install the codec just in case for future use but don't have any HEIC images to be able to test whether or not the codec works once you install it, you can download a zip file with sample images here: jpg format so that it can now be opened and edited in any program. And, for editing purposes, the codec allows you to right-click on the image file in Windows Explorer and almost instantly convert it to. You can associate such files with Windows Photo Viewer which will open and display the image when double-clicked. I do not suggest people use online converters for everything simply in case some images might - even unknowingly - contain info that one might not want publicly available.īut there is a free codec available that works with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 and that will make HEIC image files display thumbnails in Windows Explorer. In any event, as I suspect that Corel won't be posting a link to a converter any time soon, I figured it might not hurt to provide one to a downloadable codec in this forum (rather than an online converter) for those who might be interested.

But that won't help those of us with older versions of Windows.

I hadn't known that because I'm an Android guy And suggested that, until such support is implemented in PSP, Corel should at least let people know it doesn't support HEIC and provide a link to a converter app or online converter.īut the post did make me do a bit of research and made me realize that perhaps this format is becoming more ubiquitous and that some people actually are having some issues with images that others might send them from Apple products in HEIC format that won't display in Windows Explorer or be editable in PSP, although the latest Windows 10 update might now provide such support. Forum member has posted a request in the Wish List thread for PSP support for HEIC files, which apparently is the default format of the newer iPhone/ipad models.
