HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is Apple’s preferred image format because it offers 50% smaller file sizes than JPG at similar quality. It’s ideal for iOS devices, saving storage space while maintaining image quality.

Modern Windows (10+) and Android (9+) support HEIC, but older systems may require additional software. For universal compatibility, stick with JPG when sharing across platforms.

At high quality settings (85-100%), HEIC is visually indistinguishable from the original JPG. Lower quality settings will reduce file size further but may introduce artifacts.

HEIC is perfect if you primarily use Apple devices, need to save storage space, or want to maintain high-quality images with smaller file sizes.
