There’s an issue with HEIC files on at least some Windows machines, we’ll take a look.

Thank you, this would be much appreciated. For now I have switched back to JPG (Settings→Camera→Formats→Most Compatible.

Please advise when this has been resolved.

I’m getting this with a photo I took on an iPhone and tried to upload to the iNaturalist website (albeit via Windows 11 PC), so I’m not sure it’s a WIndows-specific issue.

Kind of interesting tho that I was I think doing this just a couple of days ago without issue.
