Convert PTIF to HEIF

The PTIF (Pyramid Encoded TIFF) file format, developed by Image Magick, is a specialized variant of the TIFF image format designed to store multiple resolutions of the same image within a single file. This enables efficient zooming and panning in applications without losing image quality. PTIF files are commonly used in geospatial imaging, remote sensing, and medical imaging due to their ability to handle large, high-resolution images efficiently. The format was introduced to address the need for handling large image datasets more effectively in these fields.

The High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) is a modern image format designed for superior compression efficiency and enhanced image quality. Originating in 2015, HEIF was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and utilizes the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) codec to store image data. It supports a wide range of multimedia applications, including single images, image sequences, auxiliary image items, and non-image items, making it highly versatile for professional and consumer usage in various devices and platforms. Its ability to maintain high image quality while reducing file size significantly improves storage efficiency and accelerates data transmission.
