- Description
- The Common File Format (CFF) is a standardized file structure designed to facilitate the sharing, exchange, and preservation of data across various platforms and applications. It is not tied to a specific domain but is rather a generic format that can be adopted by different types of software and systems for a wide range of data types. The CFF aims to provide a common framework that ensures data interoperability and accessibility, making it easier for users to work with data across different tools without the need for extensive conversions.
- 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.
