HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image File Format, a modern image format designed to store images and sequences with better compression than older formats like JPEG. It allows for higher quality images at smaller file sizes, making it ideal for smartphones and digital cameras. The format was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and has gained popularity due to its efficiency.
HEIF files typically use the .heic file extension and are based on the ISO Base Media File Format, the same foundation as MP4 video files. The format employs the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) codec to compress images efficiently, preserving detail while reducing file size. This codec was originally designed for video but is highly effective for still images, combining compression and quality benefits.
HEIF supports advanced features such as transparency, multiple images in one file, and image sequences, which is why it's often used for live photos and animations. Unlike JPEG, it can also store metadata and image edits separately, enabling non-destructive editing. Apple adopted HEIF as the default photo format starting with iOS 11, boosting its widespread use.
