9 months ago Hi @alexanderserraris, thank you for reporting this issue.
Unfortunately, due to HEIC being a patented format, not many libraries include it. Since we are using Sharp for image resizing, this issue highlights that implementing HEIC support with that library will require a big workaround which, I'm afraid, might cause problems with the Cloud Functions deployment.
Therefore, closing this until further updates from Sharp.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Extension name
This feature request is for extension: _ (
storage-resize-images)What feature would you like to see?
Describe the feature you would like to add, or how you'd like to see the extension change.
The extensions currently supports resizing images in JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and TIFF formats. We should add support for resizing the HEIC format.
How would you use it?
Tell us how you'd use this feature in your app.
I'm using the
storage-resize-imagesextension to resize profile pictures of users, for showing thumbnails. Multiple users are using iPhone and are uploading a HEIC image as a profile picture. It would be nice if the extension resizes these aswell.
