About the formats
HEIC image

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.

- Supports transparency and animation
- Great for fast-loading web pages
Limitations
- Not supported by some older software
