| Description |
HEIC is the image format named by Apple for the new HEIF standard. As its name implies, the HEIC format is a more streamlined way of storing image items. It adopts more advanced and modern compression, allowing digital photographs taken by iPhone, iPad, or iPod to be created in smaller file sizes while maintaining higher image quality. |
JPG is a file type developed by JPEG, referring to the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a standard for professional photographers. JPG images compress image data by reducing sections of images. Due to the lossy nature of JPG, this image format cannot be an ideal way to store digital photographs or other art files. |
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It was developed as an alternative to GIF. PNG is a great file type for internet graphics, as it supports many colors like PNG-8 (256 colors) and PNG-24 (about 16.7 million colors). |
