ImprovedPre-Check

Abandoned PreCheck uploads are cleaned up

An upload left unfinished for 24 hours, for example after the applicant closed the tab, is now removed along with its stored files. The PreCheck FAQ assistant now says phone photos in JPG, PNG or HEIC are accepted and that a PDF plan set reviews best.

NewPre-Check

iPhone HEIC photos accepted and read

HEIC and HEIF photos from iPhones are now decoded to full-resolution JPEG, stored upright, with camera and date read from the photo's metadata. Decoding runs off the main request path so large photos do not slow other work, and a photo that cannot be read gets the same clear per-file message as any bad image.
