# libheif [](https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/actions) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/strukturag/libheif) [](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/strukturag-libheif) libheif is an ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF and AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) file format decoder and encoder. There is partial support for ISO/IEC 23008-12:2022 (2nd Edition) capabilities. HEIF and AVIF are new image file formats employing HEVC (H.265) or AV1 image coding, respectively, for the best compression ratios currently possible. libheif makes use of [libde265](https://github.com/strukturag/libde265) for HEIC image decoding and x265 for encoding. For AVIF, libaom, dav1d, svt-av1, or rav1e are used as codecs. ## Supported features libheif has support for: * HEIC, AVIF, VVC, AVC, JPEG-in-HEIF, JPEG2000, uncompressed (ISO/IEC 23001-17:2024) codecs * alpha channels, depth maps, thumbnails, auxiliary images * multiple images in a file * tiled images with decoding individual tiles and encoding tiled images by adding tiles one after another * HDR images, correct color transform according to embedded color profiles * image transformations (crop, mirror, rotate), overlay images * plugin interface to add alternative codecs * reading EXIF and XMP metadata * region annotations and mask images * decoding of files while downloading (e.g. extract image size before file has been completely downloaded) Supported codecs: | Format | Decoders | Encoders | |:-------------|:-------------------:|:----------------------------:| | HEIC | libde265, ffmpeg | x265, kvazaar | | AVIF | AOM, dav1d | AOM, rav1e, svt-av1 | | VVC | vvdec | vvenc, uvg266 | | AVC | openh264 | - | | JPEG | libjpeg(-turbo) | libjpeg(-turbo) | | JPEG2000 | OpenJPEG | OpenJPEG | | HTJ2K | OpenJPEG | OpenJPH | | uncompressed | built-in | built-in | ## API The library has a C API for easy integration and wide language support. The decoder automatically supports both HEIF and AVIF (and the other compression formats) through the same API. The same decoding code can be used to decode any of them. The encoder can be switched between HEIF and AVIF simply by setting `heif_compression_HEVC` or `heif_compression_AV1` to `heif_context_get_encoder_for_format()`, or using any of the other compression formats. Loading the primary image in an HEIF file is as easy as this: ```C heif_context* ctx = heif_context_alloc(); heif_context_read_from_file(ctx, input_filename, nullptr); // get a handle to the primary image heif_image_handle* handle; heif_context_get_primary_image_handle(ctx, &handle); // decode the image and convert colorspace to RGB, saved as 24bit interleaved heif_image* img; heif_decode_image(handle, &img, heif_colorspace_RGB, heif_chroma_interleaved_RGB, nullptr); int stride; const uint8_t* data = heif_image_get_plane_readonly(img, heif_channel_interleaved, &stride); // ... process data as needed ... // clean up resources heif_image_release(img); heif_image_handle_release(handle); heif_context_free(ctx); ``` Writing an HEIF file can be done like this: ```C heif_context* ctx = heif_context_alloc(); // get the default encoder heif_encoder* encoder; heif_context_get_encoder_for_format(ctx, heif_compression_HEVC, &encoder); // set the encoder parameters heif_encoder_set_lossy_quality(encoder, 50); // encode the image heif_image* image; // code to fill in the image omitted in this example heif_context_encode_image(ctx, image, encoder, nullptr, nullptr); heif_encoder_release(encoder); heif_context_write_to_file(ctx, "output.heic"); heif_context_free(ctx); ``` Get the EXIF data from an HEIF file: ```C heif_item_id exif_id; int n = heif_image_handle_get_list_of_metadata_block_IDs(image_handle, "Exif", &exif_id, 1); if (n==1) { size_t exifSize = heif_image_handle_get_metadata_size(image_handle, exif_id); uint8_t* exifData = malloc(exifSize); struct heif_error error = heif_image_handle_get_metadata(image_handle, exif_id, exifData); } ``` See the header file `heif.h` for the complete C API. There is also a C++ API which is a header-only wrapper to the C API. Hence, you can use the C++ API and still be binary compatible. Code using the C++ API is much less verbose than using the C API directly. ### Reading and Writing Tiled Images For very large resolution images, it is not always feasible to process the whole image. In this case, `libheif` can process the image tile by tile. See [this tutorial](https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/wiki/Reading-and-Writing-Tiled-Images) on how to use the API for this. ## Compiling This library uses the CMake build system (the earlier autotools build files have been removed in v1.16.0). For a minimal configuration, we recommend to use the codecs libde265 and x265 for HEIC and AOM for AVIF. Make sure that you compile and install [libde265](https://github.com/strukturag/libde265) first, so that the configuration script will find this. Also install x265 and its development files if you want to use HEIF encoding, but note that x265 is GPL. An alternative to x265 is kvazaar (BSD). The basic build steps are as follows (--preset argument needs CMake >= 3.21): ````sh mkdir build cd build cmake --preset=release .. make ```` There are CMake presets to cover the most frequent use cases. * `release`: the preferred preset which compiles all codecs as separate plugins. If you do not want to distribute some of these plugins (e.g. HEIC), you can omit packaging these. * `release-noplugins`: this is a smaller, self-contained build of libheif without using the plugin system. A single library is built with support for HEIC and AVIF. * `testing`: for building and executing the unit tests. Also the internal library symbols are exposed. Do not use for distribution. * `fuzzing`: all codecs like in release build, but configured into a self-contained library with enabled fuzzers. The library should not distributed. You can optionally adapt these standard configurations to your needs. This can be done, for example, by calling `ccmake .` from within the `build` directory. ### CMake configuration variables Libheif supports many different codecs. In order to reduce the number of dependencies and the library size, you can choose which of these codecs to include. Each codec can be compiled either as built-in to the library with a hard dependency, or as a separate plugin file that is loaded dynamically. For each codec, there are two configuration variables: * `WITH_{codec}`: enables the codec * `WITH_{codec}_PLUGIN`: when enabled, the codec is compiled as a separate plugin. In order to use dynamic plugins, also make sure that `ENABLE_PLUGIN_LOADING` is enabled. The placeholder `{codec}` can have these values: `LIBDE265`, `X265`, `AOM_DECODER`, `AOM_ENCODER`, `SvtEnc`, `DAV1D`, `FFMPEG_DECODER`, `JPEG_DECODER`, `JPEG_ENCODER`, `KVAZAAR`, `OpenJPEG_DECODER`, `OpenJPEG_ENCODER`, `OPENJPH_ENCODER`, `VVDEC`, `VVENC`, `UVG266`. Further options are: * `WITH_UNCOMPRESSED_CODEC`: enable support for uncompressed images according to ISO/IEC 23001-17:2024. This is *experimental* and not available as a dynamic plugin. When enabled, it adds a dependency to `zlib`, and optionally will use `brotli`. * `WITH_HEADER_COMPRESSION`: enables support for compressed metadata. When enabled, it adds a dependency to `zlib`. Note that header compression is not widely supported yet. * `WITH_LIBSHARPYUV`: enables high-quality YCbCr/RGB color space conversion algorithms (requires `libsharpyuv`, e.g. from the `third-party` directory). * `ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES`: enables functions that are currently in development and for which the API is not stable yet. When this is enabled, a header `heif_experimental.h` will be installed that contains this unstable API. Distributions that rely on a stable API should not enable this. * `ENABLE_MULTITHREADING_SUPPORT`: can be used to disable any multithreading support, e.g. for embedded platforms. * `ENABLE_PARALLEL_TILE_DECODING`: when enabled, libheif will decode tiled images in parallel to speed up compilation. * `PLUGIN_DIRECTORY`: the directory where libheif will search for dynamic plugins when the environment variable `LIBHEIF_PLUGIN_PATH` is not set. * `WITH_REDUCED_VISIBILITY`: only export those symbols into the library that are public API. Has to be turned off for running some tests. ### macOS 1. Install dependencies with Homebrew ```sh brew install cmake make pkg-config x265 libde265 libjpeg libtool ``` 2. Configure and build project (--preset argument needs CMake >= 3.21): ```sh mkdir build cd build cmake --preset=release .. ./configure make ``` ### Windows You can build and install libheif using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager: ```sh git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git cd vcpkg ./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat ./vcpkg integrate install ./vcpkg install libheif ``` The libheif port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository. ### Adding libaom encoder/decoder for AVIF * Run the `aom.cmd` script in the `third-party` directory to download libaom and compile it. When running `cmake` or `configure`, make sure that the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` includes the absolute path to `third-party/aom/dist/lib/pkgconfig`. ### Adding rav1e encoder for AVIF * Install `cargo`. * Install `cargo-c` by executing ```sh cargo install --force cargo-c ``` * Run the `rav1e.cmd` script in the `third-party` directory to download rav1e and compile it. When running `cmake`, make sure that the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` includes the absolute path to `third-party/rav1e/dist/lib/pkgconfig`. ### Adding dav1d decoder for AVIF * Install [`meson`](https://mesonbuild.com/). * Run the `dav1d.cmd` script in the `third-party` directory to download dav1d and compile it. When running `cmake`, make sure that the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` includes the absolute path to `third-party/dav1d/dist/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig`. ### Adding SVT-AV1 encoder for AVIF You can either use the SVT-AV1 encoder libraries installed in the system or use a self-compiled current version. If you want to compile SVT-AV1 yourself, * Run the `svt.cmd` script in the `third-party` directory to download SVT-AV1 and compile it. When running `cmake` or `configure`, make sure that the environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` includes the absolute path to `third-party/SVT-AV1/Build/linux/install/lib/pkgconfig`. You may have to replace `linux` in this path with your system's identifier. You have to enable SVT-AV1 with CMake. ## Codec plugins Starting with v1.14.0, each codec backend can be compiled statically into libheif or as a dynamically loaded plugin. You can choose this individually for each codec backend in the CMake settings. Compiling a codec backend as dynamic plugin will generate a shared library that is installed in the system together with libheif. The advantage is that only the required plugins have to be installed and libheif has fewer dependencies. The plugins are loaded from the colon-separated (semicolon-separated on Windows) list of directories stored in the environment variable `LIBHEIF_PLUGIN_PATH`. If this variable is empty, they are loaded from a directory specified in the CMake configuration. You can also add plugin directories programmatically. ### Codec specific notes * the FFMPEG decoding plugin can make use of h265 hardware decoders. However, it currently (v1.17.0, ffmpeg v4.4.2) does not work correctly with all streams. Thus, libheif still prefers the libde265 decoder if it is available. ## Encoder benchmark A current benchmark of the AVIF encoders (as of 14 Oct 2022) can be found on the Wiki page [AVIF encoding benchmark](https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/wiki/AVIF-Encoder-Benchmark). ## Language bindings * .NET Platform (C#, F#, and other languages): [libheif-sharp](https://github.com/0xC0000054/libheif-sharp) * C++: part of libheif * Go: [libheif-go](https://github.com/strukturag/libheif-go), the wrapper distributed with libheif is deprecated * JavaScript: by compilation with emscripten (see below) * NodeJS module: [libheif-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/libheif-js) * Python: [pyheif](https://pypi.org/project/pyheif/), [pillow_heif](https://pypi.org/project/pillow-heif/) * Rust: [libheif-sys](https://github.com/Cykooz/libheif-sys) * Swift: [libheif-Xcode](https://swiftpackageregistry.com/SDWebImage/libheif-Xcode) * JavaFX: [LibHeifFx](https://github.com/lanthale/LibHeifFX) Languages that can directly interface with C libraries (e.g., Swift, C#) should work out of the box. ## Compiling to JavaScript / WASM libheif can also be compiled to JavaScript using [emscripten](http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/). It can be built like this (in the libheif directory): ```` mkdir buildjs cd buildjs USE_WASM=0 ../build-emscripten.sh .. ```` Set `USE_WASM=1` to build with WASM output. See the `build-emscripten.sh` script for further options. ## Online demo Check out this [online demo](https://strukturag.github.io/libheif/). This is `libheif` running in JavaScript in your browser. ## Example programs Some example programs are provided in the `examples` directory. The program `heif-dec` converts all images stored in an HEIF/AVIF file to JPEG or PNG. `heif-enc` lets you convert JPEG files to HEIF/AVIF. The program `heif-info` is a simple, minimal decoder that dumps the file structure to the console. For example convert `example.heic` to JPEGs and one of the JPEGs back to HEIF: ```sh cd examples/ ./heif-dec example.heic example.jpeg ./heif-enc example-1.jpeg -o example.heif ``` In order to convert `example-1.jpeg` to AVIF use: ```sh ./heif-enc example-1.jpeg -A -o example.avif ``` There is also a GIMP plugin using libheif [here](https://github.com/strukturag/heif-gimp-plugin). ## HEIF/AVIF thumbnails for the Gnome desktop The program `heif-thumbnailer` can be used as an HEIF/AVIF thumbnailer for the Gnome desktop. The matching Gnome configuration files are in the `gnome` directory. Place the files `heif.xml` and `avif.xml` into `/usr/share/mime/packages` and `heif.thumbnailer` into `/usr/share/thumbnailers`. You may have to run `update-mime-database /usr/share/mime` to update the list of known MIME types. ## gdk-pixbuf loader libheif also includes a gdk-pixbuf loader for HEIF/AVIF images. 'make install' will copy the plugin into the system directories. However, you will still have to run `gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache` to update the gdk-pixbuf loader database. ## Software using libheif * [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) * [Krita](https://krita.org) * [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org/) * [GraphicsMagick](http://www.graphicsmagick.org/) * [darktable](https://www.darktable.org) * [digiKam 7.0.0](https://www.digikam.org/) * [libvips](https://github.com/libvips/libvips) * [kImageFormats](https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kimageformats/html/index.html) * [libGD](https://libgd.github.io/) * [Kodi HEIF image decoder plugin](https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:HEIF_image_decoder) * [bimg](https://github.com/h2non/bimg) * [GDAL](https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/heif.html) * [OpenImageIO](https://sites.google.com/site/openimageio/) * [XnView](https://www.xnview.com) ## Packaging status [](https://repology.org/project/libheif/versions) ## Sponsors Since I work as an independent developer, I need your support to be able to allocate time for libheif.
