Convert HEIC to AAI

The High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) is a file extension used to store images and image sequences, leveraging the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and introduced in 2015, HEIC files are acclaimed for their superior compression efficiency, which allows for high-quality images at smaller file sizes. This format is widely used in modern digital devices, including smartphones and cameras, to optimize storage capacity without compromising image quality. It supports advanced features such as live photos, burst photo sequences, and transparent images, making it integral for contemporary digital imaging solutions.

The Dune HD AAI file extension, AAI, stands for Alpha-Alpha Image and is a raster image format used by Dune HD media players to display images with transparency, such as icons for Internet radio stations or channels. It stores 32-bit RGBA image data, which includes an alpha channel for transparency. This format is primarily used within Dune HD's ecosystem for organizing and displaying media content. The AAImageGen app, available from Dune HD, allows conversion of images like JPG, PNG, and BMP to AAI format.
