HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image File Format. It is a file format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) that is designed to store images and image sequences more efficiently than traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. HEIF uses advanced compression techniques, including High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or H.265, to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining high image quality. This format is particularly popular for storing photos on modern smartphones and other devices as it helps save storage space without sacrificing visual fidelity.

One of the key advantages of HEIF is its support for a wide range of features, including multiple images, image thumbnails, alpha channels, and even image editing operations. This means that a single HEIF file can contain a collection of images or be used as a container to store various versions of the same image (e.g., different color profiles or edits). Additionally, HEIF's ability to incorporate alpha channels enables it to store images with transparency, making it suitable for overlaying graphics or creating complex compositions.

HEIF has gained popularity due to its versatility, efficient compression, and support for modern imaging features. However, it's worth noting that older devices and software may not fully support HEIF files, which could lead to compatibility issues. Nevertheless, with the increasing prevalence of HEIF-supported devices and software, it has become an essential format for efficient and feature-rich image storage and sharing.
