Files Gallery 0.14.0 includes support for additional image formats HEIC HEIF PSD TIFF and DNG, new ImageMagick features and much more.

See demo Release info for Files Gallery 0.14.0

Additional Image Formats​

In this release, we have added support for additional popular image formats HEIC HEIF PSD TIFF and DNG. These formats aren't supported natively in the browser, and must therefore be converted to JPG when loaded in the browser.

Image Formats Demo

Support for PHP Imagick​

Previously, Files Gallery only supported ImageMagick when available from CLI with PHP exec(). We have now added support PHP Imagick, which means more users will get benefits of ImageMagick, like additional image formats, resizing and PDF thumbnails. This is especially useful since many hosting services will only have ImageMagick available from the PHP Imagick extension.
