It doesn’t offer HEIC compatibility by default, so you’ll have to select the app from a menu when you try to open your photo. Microsoft ships Windows 11 and Windows 10 with a built-in image viewer called Photos. Attempt to open an HEIC file with the Photos app.
So for many people viewing HEIC files won’t be mission critical, but if it is for you, be prepared to part with a dollar. Simply downloading the original HEIC file via is a bit of a hassle because Apple just assumes that Windows users want the JPEG version by default. Just know that adding the ability to open HEIC files to Windows 11 isn’t free, and Apple will automatically convert photos to JPEGs if they’re shared with people outside its ecosystem. Fret not, however, because viewing HEIC files in Windows is fairly painless on Windows 11. It’s just Microsoft being too cheap to pay for their own RAW parser, like (for example) Apple does.IOS, iPadOS, and macOS all ship with the ability to use HEIC files, but Windows users aren’t so lucky Microsoft doesn’t offer a way to open those files by default. That would be an understandable sacrifice if Windows 10 itself was open source, but it’s not.
(Their closed-source FastRAWViewer does have preliminary CR3 support, so I assume libraw will gain the support eventually.) Microsoft’s RAW support will therefore remain incomplete indefinitely. Hi When I open a JPG file in Explorer with the default viewer 'Photos app', it allows to navigate to the next/previous photo by swiping sideways (on a touch screen), or by clicking on little arrow buttons on the left/right of the image. If you’re also having issues with the default Photos app in Windows 10, you may try out the following troubleshooting tips to resolve Photos app issues. In some cases, the Photos app opens but doesn’t load image files. It doesn’t reflect well on Microsoft that it took them until 2019 to try to address RAW files, and when they finally did, they decided to be lazy and rely on libraw’s clean-room reverse engineering efforts, instead of signing NDAs with the camera makers and implementing the actual written specs.Īs much as I admire the efforts of the libraw authors and the determination to keep things open source, their support sometimes lag the latest state of art by quite a bit-for example, the published version of libraw as of today still does not support Canon CR3, which is used in EOS M50, R and RP. The Photos app refuses to open or closes soon after launching.
