Why HEIF?
The High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) produces images with a smaller file size and higher image quality than JPEG standard, HEIF images should be half the size of a JPEG image file, but with the same or better picture quality, user can use this utility to convert common images to .heic format files to save disk space.
