What is HEIC?

HEIC (often from iPhone cameras) packs efficient HEIF/HEVC stills. It keeps high visual quality at small sizes, but desktop and web support is uneven, so people often convert HEIC to JPG or PNG.

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is best for iPhone photo workflows that need a widely supported export. Extensions: .heic, .heif. MIME: image/heic, image/heif. Can be used as input. Input only.
