@kiwa@tiggi.es A Frankenstein between HEVC MP4 and images with some EXIF... A bit of a mess. And then they took HEIF and swapped HEVC with AV1 and you get AVIF... Basically video formats are being used as image formats now to save on bytes.

@kiwa@tiggi.es default file format for a photo taken from an iOS/iPadOS device? it’s like “High Efficiency Image Compression” or something iirc

@kiwa@tiggi.es heics are annoying. Most package managers don't have versions of imagemagick that work well with heics. The best program for converting them is Irfanview.
