When
trying to submit an image from an Apple device the image file may be in a HEIC
file type. Images saved in the high-efficiency HEIC file formats on Apple
devices will not be able to be opened by non-Apple users (including
professors). This tutorial demonstrates how students can convert a HEIC file to
an acceptable format.
If
you are using a Mac device:
· To convert the file
externally online, ID&T recommends converting HEIC files to JPG files
through this Free
Online File Converter site.
· To bypass the
conversion process is to insert your original image into a Google Doc or Word
document. Then upload the DOCX or PDF file to an assignment in MyFIRE.
Steps
for converting if you are using an IPhone or IPad:
1. Before
submitting your image in MyFIRE, you will need to change the format of your
image. To begin, access your Apple device’s settings.
2. Then
select camera.
3. Select formats.
4. Then
select most compatible instead of “high efficiency.”
5. Next, upload the converted file to your assignment or discussion board within
your course.
