HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Coding) is a file format used for storing images. It's part of the HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) standard, which is designed to provide better compression and image quality compared to older formats like JPEG. HEIC files often have the extension .heic and can store high-resolution images while taking up less space. This format is commonly used by newer Apple devices and some other modern systems.
JPG
JPG (or JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used image file format known for its efficient compression method. It reduces file size by selectively discarding some image data, which can lead to a loss of quality, but is often imperceptible to the human eye. JPG is popular for its balance between image quality and file size, making it suitable for digital photography and web use. It supports 24-bit color and is widely compatible with various devices and software.
PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an image file format that uses lossless compression, meaning it reduces file size without losing any image quality. It supports a wide range of colors and offers transparency capabilities, making it ideal for images that require a transparent background, such as logos or web graphics. PNG is well-suited for web use and images with text or sharp contrasts, as it preserves detail better than formats like JPEG.
