Assessing the Potential Use of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) in Archival Still Images
Both HEVC (ISO/IEC 23008–2) video compression and the HEIF (ISO/IEC 23008-12) wrapper format are relatively new and evolving standards. Though attention has been given to their recent adoption as a JPEG replacement for more efficient local still image use on consumer electronic devices, the standard...

| Summary: | Both HEVC (ISO/IEC 23008–2) video compression and the HEIF (ISO/IEC 23008-12) wrapper format are relatively new and evolving standards. Though attention has been given to their recent adoption as a JPEG replacement for more efficient local still image use on consumer electronic devices, the standards are written to encompass far broader potential application. This study examines current HEVC and HEIF tools, and the standards’ possible value in the context of digital still image archiving in cultural heritage repositories. |
