LibHeif is an open source library that allows ImageEn to read and write HEIF and AVIF files.
You can create lossless lossless Heif files, as well as varying the compression.
Codec version information is available with WIC_CodecInfo

Notes
◼The LibHeif plug-in requires you to ship libheif.dll and associated DLLs. These files are included in the \DLL\Heif\ folder of the ImageEn installation
◼ImageEn requires four library files: libheif.dll, dav1d.dll, de265.dll, libx265.dll. There are 32bit and 64bit versions available
◼The plug-in must be registered once by your application
◼Requires Delphi/C++Builder 2009 or newer

Examples

// Register the Heif Plug-In
IEGlobalSettings().RegisterPlugIns([ iepiHeif ]);

// Save an image to a Heif file with 80% quality
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.ImageQuality := 0.80;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFileHeif( 'D:\image.heif' );

// Save an image to a lossless Heif
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Lossless := True;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFileHeif( 'D:\image.heif' );

// Save an image as a high quality lossy AVIF file
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Lossless := True;
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.ImageQuality := 30;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFileHeif( 'D:\image.avif' );
