added HEIC support

[boryn]

HEIC is supported by ImageMagick for more than two years already:

• added HEIC support when using 'imagick' extension
• HEIC test

Very nice, thanks!

Great news !

But HEIC file conversion are not working, my model class includes the following. (It is fine with JPEG,WEBP,PNG files)

        $this
            ->addMediaCollection('pictures')
            ->acceptsMimeTypes(['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/webp','image/tiff','image/heic', 'image/heif']);
        $this->addMediaConversion('webp')
            ->performOnCollections('pictures')
            ->width(1024)  
            ->format('webp');

I have in my .env file: IMAGE_DRIVER=imagick and of course imagick and ImageMagick are installed :)

What I'm missing? Thanks, Denis

I bet you get some specific exception? Where exactly does it fail?

[dgillier]

I don't have any exception just no conversion... That's weird!

[boryn]

Probably you have conversions happening in background? Try to set this QUEUE_CONVERSIONS_BY_DEFAULT=false in .env (or directly 'queue_conversions_by_default' in config/media-library.php) so that the conversions are done without a queue and maybe now there would be some more info.

[dgillier]

Yes in Background, will try that :) Thanks

My Imagemagick version is not supporting webp (I'm converting to webP) :(((

Thanks for your help, Denis

[boryn]

And if you switch target format to jpeg, does it allow to have heic as the source image? For sure heic is supported since imagic 6.9.10. maybe earlier

Hello, I tried, but for me Heic files fail as below

php artisan media-library:regenerate --ids=19113 1/1 [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓] 100%All done, but with some error messages: Media id 19113: Unable to read image from path (/tmp/GlidefTouty).

[boryn]

Unable to read image from path (/tmp/GlidefTouty) This tells more like problems with just reading a file, not converting. Does it work normally with .jpg files? What happens if you upload .heic file without the regenerate option?

[andrezanna]

ImagickException: no decode delegate for this image format `HEIC' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/572 in /var/www/html/vendor/intervention/image/src/Intervention/Image/Imagick/Decoder.php:25

Imagick version is 3.7.0, so there shouldn't be updates

And yes it works normally for png or jpg

[boryn]

I can see the latest imagick version is 7.1.1 (https://imagemagick.org/index.php) so maybe it would be worth upgrading.

On the other hand, I would debug in the Decoder.php:25 what is inside the $path variable and if it empty, I would trace it why it's empty.

[andrezanna]

Ok, so I found my imagick extension was built without heic support, now i rebuilded and added it.

Now regenerating and normal creation work without errors.

For future reference you should check if HEIC is enabled and supported by running php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep HEIC

Here is also the guide that helped me regenerating it https://eplt.medium.com/5-minutes-to-install-imagemagick-with-heic-support-on-ubuntu-18-04-digitalocean-fe2d09dcef1

Many thanks
