About HEIC (.HEIC)
HEIC stands for High Efficiency Image Coding and is a modern image file format that stores photos using advanced compression methods. It allows for high-quality images at smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. This format has become popular on Apple devices since iOS 11 due to its efficient storage capabilities.
Technical Details
Technically, HEIC files use the HEVC codec to compress images, which enables better compression efficiency and image fidelity. The file container is based on the ISO Base Media File Format, similar to MP4 files, which supports metadata and multiple image storage. HEIC supports features like alpha channels and depth maps, useful for advanced photo editing and augmented reality applications.
Additional Information & Use Cases
HEIC files can store multiple images in a single file, making them ideal for live photos and burst shots. Unlike JPEG, HEIC supports transparency and 16-bit color depth, which enhances image quality for editing. The format is based on the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard, originally designed for video compression.
