Understanding HEIC vs JPG
About HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's implementation of the MPEG HEIF standard. It uses advanced HEVC (H.265) compression to store 16-bit color images and burst sequences at roughly 50% the size of JPEG.
About JPG
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely adopted digital image standard in the world. Virtually every browser, operating system, e-commerce platform, and printing kiosk natively understands JPEG.
When to Use HEIC vs JPG
Keep HEIC on your iPhone for maximum storage efficiency. Convert to JPG whenever you need to upload photos to portals, share with Windows/Android users, or print photos at local labs.
