HEIF files may contain a combination of images, image sequences, derived images, and EXIF metadata. Each image in a HEIF file corresponds to an FME feature with a raster geometry. Images may have RGB or monochrome interpretations.
HEIF is a container format that can store images in multiple encodings. FME supports reading two different codings/brands: HEIC/HEIX (Uses HEVC/H.265 encoding), and AVIF (Uses AV1 encoding), both of which support monochrome images, as well as bit depths of 8, 10, 12, or 16 bits per pixel. The HEIF reader will promote 10- or 12-bit images to 16-bit images.

Reader Overview
FME considers a single HEIF file to be a dataset.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data.
For comprehensive information about how FME processes raster data, see Rasters.
HEIF files can contain non-square pixel dimensions.
HEIF images can be RGB/YCbCr or Monochrome (and also supports adding an alpha channel).
