What is HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard, which delivers better quality at half the file size compared to JPEG.

The challenge is that HEIC uses the H.265/HEVC compression codec, which requires a native decoder. While browsers support JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF natively, HEIC is not supported in most browsers, making client-side conversion impractical without a large WASM module.
