Description
A still image stored in a HEIF container with the pixels coded as AVC (H.264) instead of HEVC, under the 'avci' brand of the AVC Image File Format (ISO/IEC 23008-12). The container is the same one as .heic; only the codec inside differs.
Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
