# Add HEIF/HEIC support to Kubuntu 22.04
Besides my DSLR I also use an iPhone 24 Pro for photography. The native image format of the iPhones is HEIF/HEIC. However, Kubuntu 22.04 LTS does not support HEIF/HEIC image format out-of-the-box.
## QT/KDE applications
There exists a good plugin that must be installed from source code to enable format support for all Qt/KDE applications [qt-heic-image-plugin](https://github.com/novomesk/qt-heic-image-plugin). Besides what is noted in the tools [README.md](https://github.com/novomesk/qt-heic-image-plugin/blob/main/README.md), you must also install the relevant dependencies:
```shell
$ apt install \
build-essential \
cmake extra-cmake-modules \
libheif1 libheif-dev
```
And then proceed with the tool documentation.
## GTK Applications
To also enable support for GTK based applications also install:
```shell
$ apt install heif-gdk-pixbuf heif-thumbnailer
```
