Why HEIC to ITHMB isn't offered

1

ITHMB is legacy and read-only here

ITHMB is an older raster format. It can usually be opened and converted from, but it's long obsolete, so there's no modern encoder to create new ITHMB files.

2

Convert to a current format

For a file that opens everywhere, convert your HEIC to PNG, JPG or TIFF instead.
