HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a file format for storing digital images that was introduced by Apple in 2017 with the release of iOS 11. It was designed to replace the older JPG format and was expected to offer several advantages over JPEG, including higher image quality and smaller file sizes.
Features of HEIC file format
The main features of HEIC is that it uses a more efficient compression algorithm than JPEG, which allows it to produce smaller file sizes without sacrificing image quality. This makes it suitable for storing high-resolution photos and images taken with the latest smartphones and digital cameras.
HEIC is also capable of storing multiple images in a single file, which can be useful for burst shots or Live Photos. It also supports image metadata, such as EXIF data and GPS coordinates, and supports both lossy and lossless compression.
