I need your help. Tell me your experiences of using heif by posting a new issue on the github repo.
This repo is to see if it is a good fit for you or your family to switch to HEIF. So what is HEIF or also know as High Efficiency Image Formate is replacement for jpg with better storage saving without much loss in quality. From my testing, HEIF images save about 3/4 to 1/3 compared to jpg. Thought you will sometimtes lose a very small about of detail but not very noticable unless if you zoom in to look a every pixel. Before we take about specifics I would recommend looking at the charts below to see if the apps you use support HEIF. If you don't send images though any messaging apps then move pass the charts.
!!! note this data was tested on a Samsung Galaxy S21 running Android 13
Native support means that they are uploaded without converting to another formate.

I think you should switch over if these bullets point represent you.
- Takes a lot of Photos
- Forgets to delete photos
- Doesn't mind saving storage with a very minimal difference it quality compared to jpg
the same as the chart before I think you should switch over if these bullets point represent you.
- Takes a lot of Photos
- Forgets to delete photos
- Doesn't mind saving storage with a very minimal difference it quality compared to jpg
you should switch over. As long as you don't care the the very minimal quality gains of jpg.
- switching existing images over to HEIF
- add sample images to compare the difference of the two
- finish both charts
- add more apps
- talk more about supported devices.
- talk about webp as a alternative
