Usage

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.

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.

Use libheif as you would normally, this is just a repo that adds an Xcode proj.
