Unfortunately I don't know if this is possible. HEIC isn't supported by any modern browser:

"heic" | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc

caniuse.com

ImageMagick does now support heic https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

GD doesn't support it. Most standard server installations have GD

Unfortunately I don't know if this is possible. HEIC isn't supported by any modern browser:

You can convert the HEIC images to JPEG and store them, so people can use the chevereto-based websites to share their images.

For heic it will have the caveat of not being able to preview the uploads. When you pick files for upload the system shows a preview using the browser api.

For heic the polyfill available consists into convert the file on client side, so the server never gets concerned about this. This is the library that it needs for it.

The main problem here is that the library available for this purpose is too heavy for web standards (1MB) so we need to sneak this file only when required (as detect loading the file, then trigger load the library).
