WIC for HEIC 1.0.3
The Windows Imaging Component (WIC) for HEIC enables Windows Explorer and other software to open HEIC files.
WIC, a native Windows interface for image manipulation, allows for the installation of codecs for specific image formats, thereby enabling support for them in Windows and other applications.
This app enables users to view HEIC files directly within Windows Explorer, or other software that supports the format, like IrfanView, XnView or FastStone Image Viewer.
Currently, there's no installer provided. Here's how to proceed:
Download the WIC for HEIC 1.0.3 archive.
Copy the "wic_heic.dll" file to a folder of your choice.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
To install, use "regsvr32.exe wic_heic.dll".
To uninstall, use "regsvr32.exe /u wic_heic.dll".
Alternatively, you can execute the "_install.bat" file as an administrator. Right-click on it, and choose "Run as administrator".
The same procedure applies for uninstallation by right-clicking on "_uninstall.bat" and selecting "Run as administrator".
For decoding and encoding HEIF and AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) images, we recommend a powerful library, like libheif.
And, of course, the HEIF Image Extensions, developed by Microsoft, which provide additional functionality and compatibility for viewing HEIF files.
