Description HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) is an image container format based on the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) standard, typically using HEVC (H.265) compression. It is designed to store high-quality images and sequences of images in smaller file sizes compared to JPEG, without sacrificing visual fidelity. HEIC supports advanced features such as multiple images per file, transparency, HDR (High Dynamic Range), and rich metadata. It is the default format for photos taken on many Apple devices running iOS 11 or later. JPEG is a widely-used raster image format optimized for compressing photographs and realistic images. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while retaining acceptable visual quality, making it ideal for web use and digital photography. By discarding non-essential image data, JPEG achieves small files that load quickly, but repeated saving can gradually reduce quality.
Typical usage
  • Storing high-quality photos with reduced file sizes on smartphones and tablets
  • Capturing and storing HDR images on mobile devices
  • Organizing multiple related images in a single file (e.g., Live Photos, bursts)
  • Archiving photos where storage space is limited but quality matters
  • Storing and sharing photographs on the web
  • Digital camera default photo format
  • Email attachments and social media images
  • Web design where fast loading times are important
Typical use cases
  • Mobile photography on Apple devices where efficient storage is essential
  • Distributing images with both standard and HDR versions in the same container
  • Maintaining sequences of shots (e.g., photo bursts) without separate files
  • Archiving professional-quality images with metadata in compact form
  • Compressing high-resolution camera images for quick sharing
  • Hosting large galleries on websites without excessive bandwidth costs
  • Sending product photos in e-commerce listings
  • Publishing online articles with multiple photographic images
Widely supported by
  • Apple devices (macOS High Sierra+, iOS 11+)
  • Windows 10/11 with HEIF Image Extensions installed
  • Image editors such as Affinity Photo, Pixelmator, Adobe Lightroom (latest versions)
  • All modern web browsers
  • Image editing software such as Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo
  • Operating system viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android

Advantages
  • Produces significantly smaller files than JPEG at equivalent visual quality.
  • Supports advanced features such as HDR, wide color gamut, transparency, and multiple images per file.
  • Capable of storing animations or image sequences efficiently.
  • Designed for modern devices and workflows with high-resolution photography.
  • Very high compression ratios possible with acceptable visual quality for photos.
  • Extremely widespread support across all devices, browsers, and software.
  • Efficient for continuous-tone images like photographs and realistic artwork.
  • Supports embedding metadata such as camera settings and geolocation.
Disadvantages
  • Limited compatibility outside modern operating systems and updated software.
  • Encoding and decoding require more processing power compared to JPEG or PNG.
  • Not natively supported in older browsers or devices without additional codecs or extensions.
  • Lossy compression means some image detail is permanently discarded.
  • Repeated re-saving can lead to cumulative quality loss (generation loss).
  • Not suitable for images with sharp edges, text, or flat color areas due to compression artifacts.
  • No support for transparency or alpha channels.
Max size note File size varies greatly depending on compression settings, bit depth, and inclusion of multiple images; generally much smaller than PNG or JPEG for similar quality. File size depends on resolution and compression quality settings; very high-resolution JPEGs may be slow to decode on older devices.
