Format Comparison Breakdown - **JPG/JPEG**: Universal compatibility, lossy compression, ideal for general photography without transparency. - **PNG**: Lossless compression, alpha transparency, perfect for logos, UI icons, and technical diagrams. - **WebP**: Modern Google standard, offering 30% smaller sizes than JPG and full alpha transparency support. - **HEIC (HEIF)**: High Efficiency Image Container utilized by modern iPhones, offering exceptional dynamic range at half the byte size of standard JPEG.
Why Apple Chose HEIC Apple adopted HEIC to let iPhone users store twice as many high-dynamic-range photos. However, older Windows systems and legacy web upload forms cannot parse HEIC files without third-party converters.
