About the formats
WebP image
WebP is a modern Google format that delivers both lossy and lossless compression with transparency and animation. It typically produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG at the same quality.
Strengths
- Smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality
- Supports transparency and animation
- Great for fast-loading web pages
Limitations
- Not supported by some older software
- Less universal than JPG for sharing
- Limited print workflow support
Best for: Web images where page speed matters — photos, graphics and simple animations alike.
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.
