HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is an advanced image format developed by MPEG, utilizing HEVC (H.265) compression to store both still images and image sequences. Compared to traditional JPEG, HEIF offers superior compression efficiency, reducing file sizes by approximately 50% while maintaining the same image quality. It also supports 16-bit color depth, alpha channels for transparency, and depth maps, making it ideal for HDR and computational photography applications. Due to its efficiency and feature set, HEIF is widely used in iOS devices, macOS, and modern digital photography.

ICO is a specialized file format used by Windows to store icons for applications, folders, and websites. An ICO file can contain multiple images of different sizes and color depths, such as 16×16, 32×32, and 48×48, to ensure proper display across different interfaces. It supports transparency and can use lossless or lossy compression for optimization. In addition to Windows, ICO files are commonly used as favicons for websites.
