Pros
- An HEIC file is smaller than JPEG and can hold multiple images simultaneously. That means your photos will take less space in the cloud or your phone memory.
- Despite their smaller size compared to other files, HEIC still offers the same uncompromised high quality.
- They are flexible to edit since they support a 16-bit color.
- HEIC files retain your pictures’ important details like location, time, height, and width in pixels.
- It is suitable for software that uses non-destructive photo editing.
Cons
- It is not compatible with non-Apple devices
- Regular web browsers and social media platforms do not support this format. As a result, photographers strain to edit or upload pictures in their original form since this format limits practicality.
