Description of the new feature / enhancement
When HEIF format images are encountered (i.e., from iCloud generated by iPhone) and the HEIF extension (https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pmmsr1cgpwg?hl=en-us&gl=US) is installed the image resizer should still work (could just be saving converted images in JPEG format if saving in HEIC format is not possible). Currently it does not support/detect this format for resizing although the images can be opened in other applications (i.e. double click opens Photos app) without a problem.
Scenario when this would be used?
Many people use iPhones and Apple devices that generate HEIC formatted images and would benefit from this feature, especially if format conversion is possible. My scenario was actually a bulk HEIC->JPEG conversion attempt: i.e., select 20 HEIC images in explorer, resize to "large" formatted JPEG files that can be uploaded to an image storage/sharing site such as OneDrive.
Supporting information
HEIF extension codec API is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wic/heif-codec
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/1934 is probably dupe of this request.
