HEIF Image Extensions 1.2.16
The HEIF Image Extensions allows Windows 10 and 11 devices to handle files in the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format, identified by the .heic or .heif file extensions.
HEIF files with the .heic extension are typically compressed using the HEVC format, requiring the HEVC Video Extension package for proper reading and writing.
Ensure that the HEVC Video Extension package is installed to enable the HEIF Image Extension to interact with .heic files.
We recommend checking out these guides, either before or after installing the software:
