This conversion needs a HEIF/HEVC codec that is not available in this browser engine yet.
HEIF can contain multiple image representations with different roles. These are not automatically a timed animation. Selecting an image, preserving a collection or creating several outputs needs explicit engine support; neither a first-image choice nor an all-images export is implemented.
HEIF and AVIF can represent image animation, but their frame structures are not interchangeable. Retaining motion requires sequence decoding, compositing, timing and loop mapping plus an animation-aware encoder. No such transfer is implemented; a still-only pipeline would lose the sequence.
The source can carry HDR information and AVIF has HDR-capable variants. Working radiometric values and display-referred HDR are different representations. Range, primaries, transfer function and signalling must be mapped explicitly; the future engine may instead produce SDR. HDR preservation is not promised by format support.
AVIF can use lossy or lossless AV1 coding. Chroma subsampling, RGB↔YUV conversion and reduced bit depth can change source values even when the AV1 coding stage is lossless. AVIF permits different encoding modes or container representations. Its format name alone does not promise lossless output, a quality setting or a size reduction. The future engine must choose a supported codec and sample representation; inspect the target’s compression notes below.

High Efficiency Image File Format
An image container for individual pictures, collections and sequences. The codec inside determines compression.

AV1 Image File Format
AV1-compressed pictures in an image container, with optional alpha, sequences and high-dynamic-range colour.

Source and target sample models can differ in precision, channel layout, colour space and transfer function. Lossless compression only preserves the samples actually encoded; a precision reduction or colour conversion can already change them. The future engine defines numeric mapping, orientation and colour conversion; canonical depth facts are listed below where available.
HEIF: Exif, XMP, ICC, NCLX → AVIF: Exif, XMP, ICC, CICP. Which fields are copied, rewritten or omitted will depend on the future engine; retention is not implemented yet.
