Developed by MPEG, popularized by Apple with the release of IOS 11 in 2017. The format touts more information and more metadata with reduced file size. The default and most widely used compression for HEIF files is HEVC. HEIF containers compressed using HEVC are also branded as High-Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) files, which are commonly produced by Apple devices.
