What is HEIF?
HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It uses HEVC compression to produce images roughly 50% smaller than JPEG at the same quality. HEIF also supports depth maps, HDR, and image sequences (Live Photos).
How long will each image display in the video?
You control this with the Image Duration setting. Options range from 1/60s (a single frame at 60fps) to 10 seconds per image.
Can I merge multiple HEIF photos into one video?
Yes. Select "Merge images" under Merge Strategy. All uploaded HEIF files are combined into a single video in upload order.
Which output format should I choose?
MP4 for universal playback. MOV for Apple devices. MKV for media servers (Plex, Kodi). WebM for web embedding. VOB for DVD. Choose based on your target device or platform.
Does this work with Live Photos?
HEIF Live Photos contain both a still image and a short video clip. This converter processes the still image portion. For the video portion, convert the associated MOV file separately.
