What is a HEVC file?

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265, is a modern video compression standard designed to deliver high-quality video at lower bitrates than its predecessor, H.264.

HEVC is widely used for 4K and 8K video streaming, Blu-ray discs, and modern smartphones. It offers excellent compression efficiency, though it may require newer hardware or software for playback.

How to open HEVC files

HEVC-encoded videos can be opened in VLC, PotPlayer, and modern systems with H.265 codec support. Windows 10+ and macOS support it natively in many apps.

To ensure compatibility, convert HEVC videos to H.264/MP4 using AnyConv.
