HEIC

HEIC, or High Efficiency Image Format, is a modern file format for storing images and photos. It uses advanced compression technology to reduce the file size without sacrificing quality, allowing photos to take up less storage space. HEIC is designed to support high-quality images, including those with multiple layers or live photos, making it popular on newer smartphones and devices. It’s efficient for saving storage and transferring images while maintaining clarity and detail, though some older devices or software may not natively support it.
