I'm totally lost here. I was send a photo by an iPhone user and it's a heic file? Is there something simple I can do to host it at imgur? Nothing I have tried has worked.

I'm assuming you have a Windows machine.The imgur app is supposed to handle heic now, but on windows your only access is via the website. Your OS nad/or browser may be the problem. Try opening the website and installing it as an app.

Open website, Click the browser three dots (...) > Apps > Install this site as an app.

With Windows 11 all image utilities I use have no problem with heic. Check for upgrades.

Get Irfanview. It will open the heic and then you save it as whatever you want to. Save as jpg and then host.
