What is HEIC? HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Coding) is a method of encoding and compressing the data in an image. The reason we use HEIC instead of JPG is that HEIC achieves much better compressions than other encoding methods. While JPG images have very low storage requirements, HEIC files take up less space while retaining significant visual quality. What is JPEG? JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. This standard was created by an international group of experts to define how digital cameras should save and display images. JPEG gives you the highest level of quality in terms of color, detail, and sharpness. It compresses multiple photos into a single file of far less size than the original photos and at lower file sizes, while still retaining their best qualities.
