About the formats
HEIC image
HEIC is the high-efficiency format Apple devices use by default. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPG with comparable quality, but is awkward to share outside the Apple ecosystem.
Strengths
- Half the size of JPG at similar quality
- Stores rich photo metadata
- Default on modern iPhones and iPads
Limitations
- Poor support on Windows, Android and the web
- Often needs converting before sharing
- Limited editor compatibility
Best for: Storing iPhone photos efficiently — usually converted to JPG or PNG before sharing.
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
