# contentType

The image data format to use for this image type.

## Declaration

```swift
class var contentType: UTType { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this type when you need to specify the type of the image data. Adaptive images are compatible with the HEIC format, but include extra metadata about the supported resolutions and sizes.
