About this file format

HEIC (.heic) and HEIF (.heif) are High Efficiency Image formats based on the HEVC codec. They are the default photo formats on modern iPhones (iOS 11+) because they roughly halve file size compared with JPEG at the same quality. The trade-off is compatibility: older software and many Windows PCs cannot open HEIC natively, which makes a browser-based viewer useful.
