#Twitter で #HEVC / #HEIF がお嫌いな人が画像形式について一席ぶっていて、あほくさ、と感じるなどしていた。使うときに変換すりゃいいだろうが

Современные форматы изображений или почему мы до сих пор на JPEG?

Формат JPEG появился в 1992 году и стал де-факто стандартом хранения фотографий в интернете. Спустя более 30 лет появляются всё более эффективные и продвинутые альтернативы: WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL и другие. Однако даже в 2025 году JPEG продолжает доминировать. Почему так происходит, несмотря на очевидные преимущества новых форматов? В этой статье мы проведем обзор форматов и разберёмся в причинах.

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

Fetch Apple iPhone photos to your Linux computer (2)

In part 1 photos from an Apple iPhone were copied to a Linux computer with LocalSend. In that case the resulting files will be having the HEIC file extension. That is OK for viewing the photos with image viewers that support the heic file extension.

Converting to png or jpg may be useful if you want to upload the photos to the Internet.

On Linux :

1. Install the libheif-examples package. It is called like that on Debian or Ubuntu or Linux distributions based on Debian or Ubuntu (e.g. Linux Mint, MX Linux). On other Linux distributions like
2. Open a terminal. Start conversion of a file named photo1.HEIC would go like this :

heif-convert photo1.HEIC photo1.jpg

If you want to use a batch operation on a lot of files on the command-line,

or want to use a GUI application, see for example here : Ubuntuhandbook site,

or use DDG, Startpage or a good search engine to search for something like :

heic convert linux files

p.s.

If you are interested in trying out the libimobiledevice method like mention in part 1,

see here the Arch Linux wiki entry to get some hints about how to apply it for your Linux distribution. I’ve written that it can be confusing because you cannot delete files and only copy but the interesting thing I forgot to mention is that with this method you can see a lot more of the file structure and other files on iOS.

Der reduzierte Speicherverbrauch von HEIF im Vergleich zu JPG ist im Praxistest schon echt krass. Bei einer Mischung aus Handyfotos und Fotos der Spiegelreflex habe ich 60% Reduzierung ohne sichtbaren Qualitätsverlust erreicht. Überlege mein Fotoarchiv komplett zu konvertieren 🤔 Bei Videos habe ich schon alles auf h265 gewandelt...

Was nutzt ihr als Speicherformat für Fotos?

#libavif 1.1.0 has been released (#AllianceForOpenMedia / #AOMedia / #AOMediaCodec / #AVIF / #AV1 / #AV1ImageFileFormat / #ISOBMFF / #HEIF) https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif

Es wäre jetzt auch mal an der Zeit, dass Webseiten #HEIF / #HEIC fressen.

A fresh #iPhone again defaults to making photos in #HEIC / #HEIF.

Which is not usable outside of iPhone/Mac, cannot be uploaded to Flickr, and even lose the capture date/time information in some workflows with Gimp.

Switching to JPEG very quickly now...

#photography

Unterstützt #KDE #Plasma 6 endlich #HEIF/ #HEIC, oder muss ich weiter Gimp als Bildbetrachter verwenden? 🙃

Ah, lese gerade im Bugtracker, dass das Paket kimageformats die Formatunterstützung bereitstellt. Warum nicht standardmäßig?

Sony, еб твою мать!

Может быть я сам разберусь что я могу открыть на Android?

Those with iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max, are you saving photos as 12MP or 24MP? JPEG or HEIF?

I can't determine how much I will wish my photo were 24MP down the road vs. 12. I never "print" them. Hm.

I want to learn more about #depthMap processing on iPhone’s Portrait Mode #HEIF depth photos. I’d like more options to process my depth photos than the subscription based #Focos app by #BendingSpoons. Basically I’d love to have finer control over depth map->bokeh function than focos even though it’s already really good. #Cat photo for reference

I posted a few weeks ago suggesting people to not use HEIF for iPhone photos, but JPEG, for ease of sharing.

Well, I'm replacing my aging iPhone 11 Pro Max with its 12MP camera with an iPhone 15 Pro Max with its --48MP-- camera.

Upon reflection, I shall be using HEIF right soon.

The #GTK-based #Shotwell 0.32.2 #opensource image editor and photo organizer arrived as a maintenance release to the Shotwell 0.32 stable series to address several bugs and Adds Support for #HEIF Files with .HIF Extension
This release also improves Flatpak support, enables C&P of paths in the profile editor, and fixes bugs. https://9to5linux.com/shotwell-0-32-2-image-viewer-adds-support-for-heif-files-with-hif-extension #photography

Es wurde viel von Adobe Photoshop geschrieben. #GIMP tut's auch 💪

Okay, I'm coming out of my libheif rabbithole with a new #NodeJS package: libheif-node-dy

It's a native module for #HEIF / #HEIC image decoding. Compared to the popular heic-decode, it's 3 to 5 times faster. It's dynamically linked against libheif for good measure, to completely make sure LGPL dynamic linking rule is satisfied.

This does mean you have to separately install libheif, but libheif is widely available in all distros so it shouldn't be hard to get.
