[digiKam-users] Benefits or drawbacks from JPG to HEIF conversion

[Andrey Goreev]

I am not very educated on that subject but I have heard HEIF is smaller file size and is capable of having embedded animation, etc.There are few good examples posted here:https://nokiatech.github.io/heif/Having said that, I am not considering converting any existing JPGs to HEIF. I am just not a big fan of converting.I will however use HEIF if the device can produce it natively. I will probably be exporting to HEIF from darktable, GIMP, etc. once they support the format.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
