Description
With the broad support of AVIF, it would be appropriate to implement the feature to convert HEIC to AVIF for modern compatiblitity.
Actual behaviour
In the advanced settings of the app, there is a setting for maximum compatiblitity, which converters the HEIC picture to JPEG.
New behaviour
As new option or as replacement the app should be able to convert the HEIC to AVIF format.

Research direction

Define whether AVIF is an additional option or replaces JPEG, then verify that HEIC uploads follow the selected behavior and remain compatible with the app's upload flow.
