#86 New Decoding · This Week in GNOME
The image crate is the de facto crate for raster images. It doesn't have HEIF support, which is probably why libheif-rs was brought in (it's simply a wrapper for libheif, which is what lots of programs, including GIMP and ImageMagick, use for HEIF support).

Heic Decoder in go

- Ask HN: Why does nobody support h.265/HEVC anymore?
