 ## Features:
 HEIF is a media container format. It is not an image or video encoder per se. Hence, the quality of the visual media depends highly on the proper usage of visual media encoder (e.g. HEVC). Current standard allows containing High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC, H.265) encoded bitstreams. This can be easily extended to future visual media codecs. It has many powerful features which are currently not present in other image file formats. Some of these features are:
 * Media data is encoded according to the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard.
