HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the container standard behind Apple's HEIC format and is also used by Samsung and other Android devices. Like HEIC, HEIF files aren't universally supported. PixelForge converts HEIF to JPG, PNG, or any format you need — free and private.

What is HEIF?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is an image container format standardized by MPEG. It uses HEVC (H.265) or AVC (H.264) compression. Apple's HEIC is the most common HEIF implementation. HEIF supports still images, image sequences, depth maps, HDR, and wide color gamut at roughly 2× the compression efficiency of JPEG. Android devices and some cameras also produce HEIF images.
