If you find that you are having issues with adding photos to reports and service tickets, check the photo file format on your mobile device.
HEIC & HEIF Photo Formats
- HEIC and HEIF are newer photo formats that were introduced to offer better file compression, while still preserving the highest image quality.
- It's essentially the JPEG replacement, as it is able to more efficiently compress images so that they have a smaller file size with the same quality.
- However, there is a difference between HEIF and HEIC. HEIF is for storing individual images and sequences of the image. On the other hand, the HEIC file can store both image and video files.
- The problem with HEIC/HEIF is that it’s not widely compatible with other apps, devices, and web applications.
- With that, you may not be able to open a HEIC photo after moving it to your computer. While more developers are adopting HEIC every day, it’s still not as commonly accepted as the tried-and-true standard, JPG.
You can set these devices to capture media using the older formats, which are more broadly compatible with other devices and operating systems:
