Yes they are, HEIC / HEIF means High Efficiency Image File Format. Just like JPEG and PNG... They are just lossless images... HEIC being the "container" holds both Image and video information.


If you are not sure if you want to delete them just go to the folder they are located and open them with Preview or Photos...
