HEIC
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's default image format for iPhone and iPad cameras, based on the HEVC video codec developed by MPEG. It delivers significantly better compression than JPEG while maintaining comparable or higher visual quality, typically halving file sizes at equivalent quality. HEIC supports multiple images, depth maps, thumbnail previews, and metadata within a single file.
AVIF
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers superior compression efficiency compared to JPEG and PNG, often reducing file sizes by 50% or more while maintaining excellent visual quality. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency, making it an ideal choice for the modern web.
