In iOS 11, High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) is a new image format from the developers of MPEG, which is used by default on new photos on iOS 11. HEIF will help you save iPhone storage, good news to those 32GB iPhone users. It will reduce the photo size you take with your iPhone’s camera, say, if you shot a JPG photo that takes 5MB file size, HEIF will reduce it to 2.6-3MB, a great compression to your iPhone photos.
