HEIC

High Efficiency Image Container

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's proprietary image format based on HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression. It produces files that are about 50% smaller than JPG while maintaining similar or better image quality. HEIC supports advanced features like transparency, 16-bit color depth, and storing multiple images in one file (like Live Photos). However, its limited compatibility outside Apple devices makes conversion necessary for universal sharing.

Joint Photographic Experts Group

JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) has been the standard image format for over 30 years. It's supported by literally every device, operating system, web browser, and software application in existence. JPG uses lossy compression to achieve small file sizes. While it's not as efficient as HEIC, its universal compatibility makes it the safest choice for sharing images.
