Open-source software on this site

This site uses a free, open-source library to read iPhone photos (the HEIC format).

When you upload an iPhone photo, your browser turns it into a JPG before sending it, so our team can open it. The library is loaded only when that is needed.

You can get the source code of these libraries, and change and rebuild it, under the license below. Each link opens the exact version we use.
