Airtable runs in a browser and generates previews for formats the browser can decode. HEIC is not one of them, so an attachment uploads successfully and then shows as a generic file with no thumbnail in grid, gallery or kanban view.
For a base built around visual records — a property log, an inventory, a site survey — that removes most of the value. The data is there; the thing you actually look at is not.
Converted JPGs thumbnail immediately, render in expanded records, appear in shared views and survive the interfaces and automations layered on top. Anyone you share the base with sees them regardless of their device.
Convert a whole set at once and take the ZIP. Filenames are preserved, so if your records are matched to photo names the import still lines up.
Drag them onto the box above or press Select Files. Conversion runs in your browser.
Download them, then add them to the attachment field of the record as usual.
Airtable will store a .heic file, but it cannot generate a preview or thumbnail because browsers cannot decode the format. The attachment appears as a generic file, which breaks gallery and kanban views built around images.
Yes, with no cap on file count. Download All returns the set as a single ZIP with filenames preserved, which matters if your import maps records to photo filenames.
No. The decoder is a WebAssembly module that runs inside your browser tab, so the photo is read from your device into memory and converted there. You can check it in your browser's Network tab, or disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded and convert anyway.
