So what’s the proper way to say this acronym without saying all the words? A Google search didn’t get it. Thanks.

but the e is before the i , or i suppose you are pronouncing it like some people pronounce either or neither,
I do like your interpretation though because if anyone came up to me and started talking about filetypes from their phones, I would indeed want them to take a hike.

Not sure if this helps but Apple says that HEIF is pronounced HEEF. Now sure about HEIC. I usually out of habit pronounce it as HIKE.

Hmm, that sounds like “hike”, which was my first guess.

At first I didn't care - actually, I still don't! Owls don't care either. Have you heard any give two "hoots" about it? But then I thought what of the real possibility of a well-meaning co-photographer inviting one to "go take a HEIC!"?
Would jpeg in the lake be a reasonable response?

Thanks, everybody. I think the iOS forum might be a little more helpful on this one, after all. The snarky comments were mildly funny, but maybe not totally helpful.

I'd spell it but I'm with you on 'heck of the format, you have to pay the CODEC for it'.
But, AI ( a sad day for English language when AI has to explain reading) says:
In English, "HEIC" is most commonly pronounced as "hay-ick" - with a long "a" sound like in "day" and a short "i" sound like in "kick"; essentially sounding like "heck" with a slightly more pronounced "a" sound at the beginning.
I checked several YouTube videos and in every video it is pronounced as:

Since it's not a word I doubt there is a "proper" way to pronounce it. Pronounce it any way you see fit.
