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

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Compression algorithm is not the same. HEIF use a wavelets like compression
which is better in file size ratio for the same quality.

Just experiment with BQM to translate a serie of JPEG to HEIF to see the
gain.
