# The multimedia/libheif port

## libheif-1.6.2p1 – ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF file format decoder and encoder

## Description

    libheif is an ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF file format decoder and
    encoder.

    HEIF is a new image file format employing HEVC (h.265) image coding for
    the best compression ratios currently possible.

    libheif makes use of libde265 for the actual image decoding and x265 for
    encoding. Alternative codecs for, e.g., AVC and JPEG can be provided as
    plugins. There is experimental code for an AV1 plugin (for AVIF format
    support) in the 'avif' branch.

    The library has a C API for easy integration and wide language support.
