Sony has released a brand-new HEIF Converter, useful for converting the 'High Efficiency Image File Format' images used in some recent cameras, such as the Sony A7S Mark III and the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III.

HEIF files have become increasingly popular over the years, particularly in smartphones, though Sony's full frame mirrorless a7S Mark III is also able to record HEIF files. The files also save precious memory card space by storing a collection of images, sequences or even a cinemagraph (a still image with moving aspects).
