Do you mean heic? That format is absolute wizardry as far as i’m concerned, achieving really small filesizes. The only downside IMO is it doesn’t seem to handle things like screenshots very well, with noticeable artifacting around text and sharp contrasty things
heif is correct, it is an image format derived from heic for video. It is pretty spectacular especially compared to the aging jpeg, but yes best to stick with uncompressed formats for non-natural imagery such as screenshots of digital UI and text etc.
Edit:
Reading this, looks like HEIF is the container and HEIC is the codec. You’re right!
Typical 12mp heif image is ~1mb
