It can also be used to store both SDR and HDR images. For example, it stores double the bit color depth at 16-bits compared to JPEG at only 8-bits. HEIF is also capable of storing animation with more information than an animated GIF or APNG in less size. AVIF refers to HEIF images using AV1 coding. A HEIF image using HEVC requires less storage space than the equivalent quality JPEG. HEIF can store images encoded with multiple coding formats. The standard covers multimedia files that can also include other media streams, such as timed text, audio and video. High Efficiency Image File Format ( HEIF) is a container format for storing individual images and image sequences.
