在 Windows 上将图像转换为 HEIF 格式

Question

I want to take advantage of HEIF's benefits on Windows. I feel I've done quite a bit of searching and I find a lot about opening HEIF files on Windows and converting from HEIF to JPG. I can't find anything about converting a popular lossless type (BMP, PNG, GIF) to a HEIF.

Is there a library (or available application) that can convert from a popular lossless type to HEIF on Windows?

Windows Imaging Component (WIC) API comes with Microsoft HEIF Encoder in latest Windows 10. That is, you can use the API for image encoding.
