Birchal

The Birchal platform currently accepts three types of file formats when uploading documents for the purposes of verifying your identity: JPEG, PNG, and PDF.

On newer iOS devices, including the recent iPhone and iPad, your images may be saved as HEIC files. This is a proprietary file format specific to Apple devices. You can convert or save HEIC files as JPEG using a few different methods.

Method 1. Stop taking HEIC photos

This method means all photos on your device are saved as JPEG by default. 

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap Camera &gt; Formats
3. Select Most Compatible

Method 2. Convert existing HEIC photos to JPEG

This method is useful if you already have a document saved on your iOS device in HEIC format. It's not the quickest process, but you can convert the image to JPEG without having to change your device's settings.
