HEIF is the default image file format on Apple devices. This +library comes with some example programs including heif-convert that +converts HEIF/AVIF images to JPEG or PNG. + +libheif makes use of libde265 for HEIF image decoding and x265 for +encoding. For AVIF, libaom is used as codec. + +google-go-lang is needed only at build time. |
