    I am working on a project, and I need a HEIC/HEIF photo file to test my code against. According to the documentation, these files can contain multiple images, but the only ones I can find, or generate with my phone camera, have only 1 image in them. If I do a photo burst with my phone camera I end up with JPEG files. If I am reading the docs correctly, every frame(image) in the file should have it's own thumbnail image, but I can not test that if I can not find or generate a proper file to test it with. I would like to get a multi-photo HEIC file to that I can test my code against. Does anyone have a link to such a file that I can download? Google is only giving me single image files.

    I found this... maybe useful? [Sample HEIC Files Download - Get Examples Instantly](https://filesamples.com/formats/heic)

      Thanks, but I have already looked at those. They have only one image each, I have lots of those. I am looking for multiple image files, like gif, tiff, or ico files that contain more than one image in a single file. Maybe there are none out there, even though the standard allows for it.:confused:

        IrfanView, if I remember correctly, allows for the creation of multiple image .tiffs. I certainly used a tool to create those for the same reason a decade ago and I'm 80% positive I used IrfanView for that. Sadly I no longer have the generated files (property of the company I used to work for). EDIT: if not IrfanView try GIMP, maybe one of the less dumbed down versions (2.0something?) or ImageJ. ImageJ is so low level it should easily do anything.

          Maybe your viewer only sees one? Do you have a HEIC specific viewer? Seems like it's an Apple thing...

            I am using GitHub - vbaderks/WICExplorer: WIC (Windows Image Component) sample application WIC Explorer, updated for Visual Studio 2022[^] to double check my code. All images I try give me the same results between my code and WIC explorer. I just want to double check HEIC files with multiple images. Like I said earlier, TIFF, GIF, and ICO files with multiple images work great.

              Right. And it's not showing support for HEIC.

              To load an image, go to File > Open... and select the file you wish to open.

              To load an entire directory of images, go to File > Open Directory... and select the directory you wish to open.

              WIC Explorer supports any file format that has a WIC codec installed. On Windows 10, the built-in codecs are:

              JPEG
              BMP
              PNG
              GIF
              ICO
              JPEG-XR
              TIFF
              DDS
              Camera Raw

                I have the HEIC codec installed, so I can open them and it works. I just do not have a multi-image HEIC file to test against. I am just going to assume my code works with them until I come across a file that proves me wrong. assume: ass you me

                    Nokia have a nice repo for this. GitHub - nokiatech/heif_conformance: Raw content, bitstreams and HEIF files for conformance testing[^]

                      Might be just what I need. On holidays right now on a cruise ship in the North Sea heading to Iceland. I will definitely check these out when I get home in a couple weeks. Thanks.
