@menelion@dragonscave.space @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me It's called HEIC. It's composed of a single frame of HEVC (H265) video, stored as a still image. The library for working with it is libheif, but it's still patent involved and I know Windows requires you to actually buy the codec sometimes. Or maybe libheif somehow got around that I don't rightly know. Libheif also supports avif, av1 image file, which is the same thing but with an AV1 video frame. And of course there's also webp, which is a single frame of webm video, probably VP8 or VP9.

    @x0@dragonscave.space @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me I've investigated a little bit, and I saw an open-source solution in pure .NET, don't know about its quality though. I received another request for HEIC today, so will dig into it for the next release.
