- 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.

Strengths
- Infinitely scalable, always crisp
- Tiny files for flat graphics
- Editable and styleable as code
Limitations
- Not suitable for photographs
- Complex art can get heavy
- Needs rasterising for some uses
Best for: Logos, icons and illustrations that must stay razor-sharp at every size.
