What advantages does HEIC have over JPEG? The same is true for dual camera images captured on the iPhone X, iPhone XS and other recent dual-cam iPhones. This works particularly well with Live Photos, as multiple images can be saved in the HEIC container. The way Apple has outlines its use is to store still images encoded with the HVEC (H.265) video format. Technically, HEIC isn't really a format as such, more of a container for images and audio. HEIC isn't actually an Apple invention at all, but was developed by the MPEG group that was also responsible for the AAC format used in iTunes. HEIF is based on the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Compression) or H.265 video format already used on newer iPhones. Using advanced, modern compression methods it allows digital photographs to be created in smaller files sizes, all while retaining higher image quality than its JPEG alternative. HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image Format, and, as the name suggests, is a more streamlined way of storing image files.

HEIC is the file format name Apple has chosen for the new HEIF standard. So if you take a HEIC picture on your iPhone and send it to a friend who has a Windows PC, outdated Android phone, or even an older Mac, they won’t be able to view it. While this is convenient for file storage purposes, it’s not ideal for posting to the web and other places where it’s useful for images to be formatted in more traditional formats for the web such as JPEG for photographs.īut while they’re not exclusive to Apple, HEIC and HEVC files aren’t yet universally supported. This relatively new standard, finalized in 2015, supports animations better than more traditional formats such as GIFs, which is useful since animation and video-like sequences are more common these days on phones and for posting to social media. These new standards allow for file sizes to be smaller while maintaining the same quality, which means you’ll be able to store more pictures and videos on your iPhone. For photos, that meant using HEIC files instead of JPEG, and the default for videos is now HEVC instead of H264. Starting with iOS 11 and continuing on to iOS 13, Apple switched the default camera formats for photos and videos to High-Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) for images and sequences of images.
