Description🔵 HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is a file format designed for still images and image sequences. It was developed by the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) organization and is based on the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression algorithm. HEIF files typically use the .heif or .heic file extension.
Technical details🔵 HEIF provides several advantages compared to older image formats like JPEG. It utilizes more efficient compression algorithms, resulting in smaller file sizes while maintaining image quality. Additionally, HEIF supports features such as transparency, alpha channels, and the ability to include multiple images (such as burst photos or Live Photos on iOS devices) within a single file. HEIF files can be decoded using software that is compatible with the format. Some popular image viewing and editing software that support HEIF include Apple Photos, Adobe Photoshop, and GIMP. However, some older software may not natively support HEIF, requiring users to convert the files to a different format before use.
