+SUMMARY="HEIF file format decoder and encoder"
+DESCRIPTION="libheif is an ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF and AVIF (AV1 Image \
+File Format) file format decoder and encoder.
+
+HEIF and AVIF are new image file formats employing HEVC (h.265) or AV1 image \
+coding, respectively, for the best compression ratios currently possible.
+
+libheif makes use of libde265 for HEIF image decoding and x265 for encoding.
+For AVIF, libaom, dav1d, or rav1e are used as codecs."
