Description HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a modern container format for individual images and image sequences. It typically uses the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265) codec for compression, allowing it to store images at a much smaller file size than JPEG while maintaining equal or better visual quality. HEIF supports advanced features like multiple images in a single file, image sequences, transparency, high dynamic range (HDR), depth maps, and rich metadata. JPEG is a widely-used raster image format optimized for compressing photographs and realistic images. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while retaining acceptable visual quality, making it ideal for web use and digital photography. By discarding non-essential image data, JPEG achieves small files that load quickly, but repeated saving can gradually reduce quality.
Typical usage
  • Storing high-quality photos on smartphones while minimizing storage space
  • Capturing live photos or short bursts with minimal file size increase
  • Archiving images with embedded depth data for portrait mode editing
  • Delivering high-quality visuals in bandwidth-constrained environments
  • Storing and sharing photographs on the web
  • Digital camera default photo format
  • Email attachments and social media images
  • Web design where fast loading times are important
Typical use cases
  • iOS and macOS devices use HEIC by default for camera images to save space while retaining quality
  • Cloud storage providers optimizing bandwidth by storing HEIF instead of JPEG
  • Professional photographers capturing HDR images in a compact file size
  • Social media platforms testing HEIF to reduce upload times without sacrificing quality
  • Compressing high-resolution camera images for quick sharing
  • Hosting large galleries on websites without excessive bandwidth costs
  • Sending product photos in e-commerce listings
  • Publishing online articles with multiple photographic images
Widely supported by
  • Apple iOS 11 and later
  • macOS High Sierra and later
  • Windows 10 (with HEIF Image Extensions)
  • Android 9 (Pie) and later (device-dependent)
  • Image viewers and editors like Photoshop, GIMP (with plugins), and Preview
  • All modern web browsers
  • Image editing software such as Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo
  • Operating system viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android

Advantages
  • Much smaller file sizes than JPEG for equivalent quality, thanks to HEVC compression.
  • Supports features JPEG cannot, such as HDR, transparency, animations, and multiple images per file.
  • Enables storage of auxiliary data like depth maps for advanced editing features.
  • Suitable for both lossy and lossless image storage.
  • Very high compression ratios possible with acceptable visual quality for photos.
  • Extremely widespread support across all devices, browsers, and software.
  • Efficient for continuous-tone images like photographs and realistic artwork.
  • Supports embedding metadata such as camera settings and geolocation.
Disadvantages
  • Not as universally supported as JPEG or PNG, especially on older devices and browsers.
  • Requires more processing power to encode/decode due to HEVC compression.
  • Patent/licensing restrictions on HEVC can limit adoption in open-source projects.
  • Some software still lacks full support for advanced HEIF features.
  • Lossy compression means some image detail is permanently discarded.
  • Repeated re-saving can lead to cumulative quality loss (generation loss).
  • Not suitable for images with sharp edges, text, or flat color areas due to compression artifacts.
  • No support for transparency or alpha channels.
Max size note While HEIF is efficient, very high-resolution or HDR images with multiple embedded sequences can still create large files; decoding them may be intensive for low-power devices. File size depends on resolution and compression quality settings; very high-resolution JPEGs may be slow to decode on older devices.
