HEIC image

A page shows an image saved as HEIC or HEIF, the format many phones save photos in. Statac published the file unchanged and made no resized copies of it.

What you’ll see

warning  HEIC image: Statac publishes `content/photo-1.heic` unchanged, with no resized copies
  Export it as a JPEG: most browsers can't show a HEIC image.

In the terminal, the message also shows the file and line, if there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac warns

Statac can’t read HEIC, so it can’t make the resized AVIF and JPEG copies it usually makes of an image, or write the image’s width and height into the page. Few browsers can show a HEIC image at all, so most readers would see a broken image in its place. Statac publishes the file anyway, because the page asks for it, and warns you.

How to fix it

Export the image as a JPEG from the program you keep it in. Put the JPEG beside the page’s file in place of the HEIC file, and use the JPEG’s name where the image is shown. Statac then publishes it the same way as any other image.

Example

In content/post-1.md:

![A gradient from blue to orange](photo-1.heic)

If you put photo-1.jpg beside the post and write ![A gradient from blue to orange](photo-1.jpg) in it instead, Statac publishes resized copies of the image that every browser can show.

Its name

Name	heic-image
In the terminal	statac explain heic-image
To stop showing it	quiet: [heic-image] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
