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.
PNG image
PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It keeps every pixel exact, which makes it the go-to choice for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges.
Strengths
- Lossless — perfect, repeatable quality
- Full transparency (alpha channel)
- Crisp text, lines and flat colour
Limitations
- Larger files than JPG for photos
- No native animation
- Not ideal for large photographic images
Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic that needs transparency or pixel-perfect edges.
