            Bug ID: 230035
           Summary: WebKit should support HEIC/HEIF image display in web
                    pages natively (and not just the background of the
                    start page)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Images
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The summary says it all: WebKit should support HEIC/HEIF image display in web pages natively (and that means without converting those images to JPEGs or the like since this could not be done without loss of bit depth and such dynamic range.) 

FireFox now has support for AVIF https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443863 and I guess WebKit won't follow that suit because Apple. But can we please at least get support for HEIC/HEIF instead? 

All those great images with high contrast could otherwise not be viewed correctly or without information loss. 

Thanks a lot!
