What is a HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Codec)
About HEIC Images
HEIC, short for High Efficiency Image Container, is an image file format developed by Apple. It is an updated variant of the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) that Apple traditionally used across its mobile devices. The HEIC format offers higher image quality than JPEG while consuming significantly less storage space due to advanced compressive technology. Each HEIC file has either a .heic or .heics extension, depending on the number of images it contains, and also includes relevant metadata such as image size, resolution, and location. Read More
What is a PNG
About PNG Images
PNG, which stands for Portable Network Graphics, is a popular image file format known for its lossless compression, meaning it retains the original quality of the image even after compression. This makes it ideal for detailed graphics where precision is key. Additionally, PNG supports transparency, allowing for the creation of images with varying levels of opacity or transparent backgrounds, perfect for overlays and web graphics. Its ability to handle high-resolution photos with a rich color palette while maintaining small file sizes is highly valued by graphic designers and web developers.
