A wrapper for libheif + Xcode project. This enables Carthage support to build libheif as a framework for Apple's platform.
This repo also including the CocoaPods's spec file to use libheif.
- iOS 8+
- macOS 10.10+
- tvOS 9+
- watchOS 2+
libheif is (via this repo) available through Carthage.
github "SDWebImage/libheif-Xcode"
libheif is available through CocoaPods.
pod 'libheif'
libheif is available through Swift Package Manager.
let package = Package(
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/SDWebImage/libheif-Xcode.git", from: "1.6.1")
]
)
libheif itself is not a full function decoder but an abstract layer. It needs libde265 for HEIF decoder support, and x265 for HEIF encoder support.
For CocoaPods user, you can use libx265
subspec to integrate the x265 codec supports for HEIF encoding.
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libde265', 'libx265']
Since most of people's usage of this library is for HEIF decoding, and x265
is under GPLv2 license, we only integrate libheif with the Carthage dependency libde265-Xcode. To use x265 for HEIF encoding, try to build it by your own.
- aom
libheif from v1.7.0 added the support for AV1 Image File Format (AVIF). To keep the component functional, we only integrate the AVIF support in CocoaPods via libaom
subspec.
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libaom']
- dav1d
libheif from v1.9.0 added the support to use dav1d as AVIF decoder codec.
To use dav1d as decoder codec, use the subspec like this:
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libdav1d']
- aom
libheif from v1.7.0 added the support to use libaom
as the default AVIF encoder codec. However, libaom does not performent so well on most mobile system.
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libaom']
- rav1e
There is another AVIF encoder codec, rav1e. Which added from v1.8.0 version. For CocoaPods, you can choose to use via librav1e
subspec.
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['librav1e']
Notes:
- rav1e supports iOS and macOS only, because Rust language does not supports tvOS or watchOS bitcode format.
- rav1e only supports AVIF encoding, for AVIF decoding, you can choose to use aom, or dav1d
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libdav1d', 'librav1e']
# or if you prefer aom
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['libaom', 'librav1e']
- svt-av1
libheif from v1.14.0 added the support to use svt-av1 as AVIF decoder and encoder codec.
To use svt-av1 as encoder and decoder codec, use the subspec like this:
pod 'libheif', :subspecs => ['svt-av1']
