Trying to figure out if Safari does or doesn't support iOS 11's new image format HEIC/HEIF. Have tried numerous things and it doesn't appear to work. Thanks.

By checking on CanIUse, iOS11 dose't support HEIF in Safari, and I just have a test on iOS11.0.3, yep, it is really not supported.
On MacOS, it is supported on specified platform, which seems like KabyLake CPU, you can check it on WWDC.

Update March 29, 2021 - still no Safari support! (Per CanIUse.) Seems a little crazy since it is Apple's proprietary format. – Freewalker Mar 29 '21 at 06:01

Apple said macOS High Sierra will support the HEIF, you can try it.
