| Full Name | High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression |
| Compression ID | IG_COMPRESSION_HEVC = 27 |
| ImageGear Component | HEIF |
| Bit Depth | 8 bpc |
| File Formats | HEIC/HEIF |
To support HEVC decompression, attach the ImageGear HEIF Component to ImageGear Core. See the Attaching Components page under the "How to Work with ..." section.
Developed by the MPEG group as the successor to the popular AVC compression, HEVC allows for more data compression without sacrificing fidelity. HEVC is considered the default codec for HEIF image containers. HEVC-coded HEIF files are also known as HEIC files, which are commonly produced by Apple devices.
If this feature is enabled, you or your organization will be responsible for obtaining the required third-party patent licenses for distribution of your application with the enabled HEIF/HEIC feature. Accusoft is unable to obtain a transferable license to give to customers. Customers must obtain it directly.
