HEIF is an incredible pain that Apple has inflicted on the world.
Trying to get thumbnails from arbitrary photos for my wedding's website, and PIL + libheif just doesn’t work. Something about "Too many auxiliary image references".

It is widely supported and battle-tested, but it comes with operational costs: DNS propagation delays, recurring DNS updates at renewal time, and automation that often requires distributing DNS credentials throughout your infrastructure.
