Attachment - HEIC Convert
iPhone and iPad photos arrive as HEIC files that browsers and most tools cannot display. This module converts them to PNG automatically, the moment they are uploaded to Odoo.
Works everywhere attachments are created
Chatter uploads, incoming e-mail attachments, expense receipts, document uploads - every ir.attachment created with a .heic filename is converted on the fly.
What you get
- Automatic conversion on upload - HEIC images become PNG with no user action.
- Filename preserved - IMG_1234.heic becomes IMG_1234.png, and the mimetype is set correctly.
- Case-insensitive - .HEIC and .heic both convert.
- Manual actions - convert an existing attachment to PNG, or wrap an image into a PDF, directly from the attachment form.
- Fails safe - if a file cannot be decoded, the original attachment is stored unchanged and the error is logged.
Technical note
The conversion uses the Python library pyheif, which must be available on the server (pip install pyheif). On Odoo.sh, add it to your requirements.txt.
