Convert ORA to HEIC

The ORA file extension stands for OpenRaster Image File, a format designed for the exchange of layered raster graphics between different software applications. Proposed in 2006 by developers from KDE and Krita, OpenRaster aims to provide an open alternative to proprietary formats like Adobe's PSD. The format encapsulates image layers, blending modes, and metadata within a ZIP archive containing XML and PNG files. Its primary use is to facilitate interoperability among various graphic editors, ensuring that complex image data can be shared and edited across different platforms.

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.
