HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is a file format based on HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) using HEVC (H.265) compression. It allows storing high-quality images while reducing file size by approximately 50% compared to JPEG. HEIC supports 16-bit color depth, transparency, HDR, and multiple image storage (such as Live Photos). Apple devices (iOS 11+ and macOS High Sierra+) use HEIC as the default format, making it popular in mobile photography, digital imaging, and cloud storage.
How to open and edit an HEIC file?
HEIC files can be opened and edited using various tools. Recommended software and methods include: - Native Support: - iOS Photos: View and edit HEIC files directly on iPhones and iPads. - macOS Preview: Open HEIC files natively in Preview and Photos on macOS. - Windows 10/11 (requires HEIF extension): Microsoft provides official HEIF and HEVC plugins (some may require a purchase). - Professional Editing Tools: - Adobe Photoshop 2020+: Supports HEIC editing and conversion. - Affinity Photo: Allows HEIC import and editing, suitable for professional designers. - Open-Source & Free Tools: - XnView MP: Multi-platform support for viewing and converting HEIC files. - GIMP (with plugin): Supports basic HEIC editing. - Online Conversion: - Use CloudConvert or Convertio to convert HEIC to JPEG, PNG, or other common formats. On Windows, additional HEVC video extensions may be required to decode HEVC-compressed images properly.

What is a GIF file?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely used image format for web and social media, supporting lossless compression and animation. GIF files can store multiple frames to create short animated clips, making them popular for memes, web advertisements, and simple animations. GIF supports up to 256 colors (8-bit depth), making it suitable for simple graphics but less ideal for high-color images compared to PNG or JPEG.
