HEIF
Extracted from the Wikipedia article High Efficiency Image File Format.
HEIF can store images encoded with multiple coding formats, for example both SDR and HDR images. HEVC is an image and video encoding format and the default image codec used with HEIF. HEIF files containing HEVC-encoded images are also known as HEIC files and are mandated to use the .heicfilename extension or .heics as stated in the standard. Such files require less storage space than the equivalent-quality JPEG files of the same images.
