The photos timeline accepts several types of image and video files, and will display a preview of these files in the photos timeline and albums in the cloud.
The following image formats are supported in the Photos section:
JPG
PNG
HEIC/HEVC
JPEG-2000
TIF/TIFF
The following RAW formats are supported in the Photos section:
Canon: CRW, CR2, CR3
Universal: DNG, RAW, RW2
Nikon: NEF, NRW
Leaf: MOS
Sony: ARW, SR2, SRF
Mamiya: MEF
Hasselblad: 3FR, FFF
Epson: ERF
Foveon: X3F
Minolta: MRW

Kodak: DCR, KDC
Pentax: PEF
Fuji: RAF
Olympus: ORF
There are however some exceptions:
Images that do not have an ISO value set in the file's metadata, and are not uploaded from a mobile app or through the website, will be automatically hidden in the timeline. You can manually unhide these files, to show them in the timeline and albums.
Images that have a megapixel count lower than 0.2 Megapixels will automatically be excluded from the photos timeline. These images cannot be unhidden.
Image files that are larger than 150 MB will not be transcoded, and therefore they will not be shown in the timeline.
The photos timeline supports these video formats:
3GP
3GPP
Quicktime
MP4
We will most likely add support for more image and video formats in the future.
Please note that you can upload any filetype to our servers, to store them safely in the Files service. This article explains which filetypes can be displayed as previews in the photo timeline.
