IntroductionHEIC, .heic is a filename extension for the High Efficiency Image File Format. HEIC files are created by the camera applications of modern iPhone and Android devices, and professional digital cameras. In June 2017, Apple announced the support for HEIF in macOS High Sierra and iOS 11.JPEG compression is used in a number of image file formats. This format is used in many digital cameras. It is a popular method of lossy compression for digital images. The degree of image compression can be altered, allowing to have control over file size and image quality. A JPG can’t have a transparent background so they always have a solid background.PNG is an extensible file format for the lossless storage of raster images. Compared to JPEG, PNG can have a transparent background and is generally larger and higher quality. PNG is often used to save logos, icons and other images where a transparent background is preferred.
