Make every HEIC photo work in Odoo

Convert HEIC Attachment automatically turns iPhone and iPad photos into JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF the moment they are uploaded — and cleans up every broken HEIC file already sitting in your database.

The problem

Apple devices save photos as HEIC/HEIF by default, but Odoo cannot preview, render, or reuse that format. Sales photos, expense receipts, and proof-of-delivery images uploaded from an iPhone or iPad look broken to users, generate support tickets, and leave a growing backlog of unusable attachments that someone has to fix by hand.

The solution

Convert HEIC Attachment decodes every HEIC/HEIF upload automatically and writes it back as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF with metadata preserved. A one-click batch wizard sweeps up files that were already uploaded, and a clear status on every attachment shows exactly what happened — converted, skipped, or failed, never silent.

Capabilities

Everything HEIC ingestion needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Automatic conversion on upload

Every HEIC/HEIF attachment is detected and converted to your chosen format the instant it is uploaded, with sensible defaults so nothing needs to be configured.

02

Manual convert button

Convert any individual attachment on demand from its own form view, covering imports, migrations, or files uploaded before the app was installed.

03

Batch conversion wizard

Sweep through every existing HEIC file in the database in a single run and convert the whole backlog without touching files one by one.

04

Four output formats

Choose JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF as your target format, matching the compatibility or file-size trade-off your business needs.

05

Configurable compression quality

Tune the encode quality from 1 to 100 to balance visual fidelity against storage size.

06

Per-attachment status tracking

Every attachment shows a clear status — Original, Converted, Skipped, or Failed — so nothing is left ambiguous.

07

Explicit failure visibility

If a file cannot be converted, the attachment is flagged Failed with a readable error message instead of disappearing silently.

08

Original file retention

Keep the original HEIC file as a linked archival attachment alongside the converted copy, so nothing is lost.

09

Reliable HEIC detection

Files are identified by extension, MIME type, and raw content signature, so renamed or mislabeled HEIC files are still caught.

Workflow

How it works

1

Upload a photo

A user uploads a HEIC/HEIF photo from an iPhone or iPad as an attachment anywhere in Odoo.

2

Automatic conversion

The module detects the format and converts it to your configured output format in the background.

3

Instant preview

The converted image previews and displays normally everywhere Odoo shows an attachment.

4

Clean up the backlog

Run the batch wizard once to convert every HEIC file that was uploaded before the app was installed.
