- JPEG, HEIC quality for sharing and storage.
JPEG Vs HEIC: Smartphones have made many tasks easier for people these days. From calling to making videos or photo shoots, now people mostly resort to smartphones. Today smartphone photography is quite trending. But often people do not know which photo format provides better quality. Today we are going to tell you which image format provides you the best quality in JPEG or HEIC.
Why is JPEG used more?
Now talking about JPEG, it is the most famous image format in the world. Almost every smartphone, laptop, website and social media platform easily supports it. Its biggest feature is its universal compatibility. However, JPEG compresses the photo more while saving it, due to which its quality reduces significantly when the photo is edited again and again.
What is HEIC?
According to the information, HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is an advanced image format which is especially capable of providing excellent quality. Another special thing about it is that along with providing better quality, it also uses less storage. It uses new image compression technology with the help of which both the detail and color of the photo remain better. For this reason, photos are now saved in HEIC format by default in new iPhones and some Android smartphones.
Who gives better quality
Now the question is which of the two formats provides you better quality. If the two formats are compared, HEIC generally preserves more detail, better dynamic range and better color than JPEG at normal size. This means that even with less storage, it is capable of giving better quality photos to the user.
However, just using HEIC format does not make any photo DSLR-like. Actually, the real quality of the photo depends on things like camera sensor, lens, image processing and light.
On the other hand, JPEG opens seamlessly on almost every device and platform, so it is much easier to share.
Which format is better for you
If you have a new smartphone and you want to save storage and maintain better quality while editing photos, then HEIC is a better option for you. But if you often share photos on social media, websites or on different devices and do not want any kind of compatibility problem, then JPEG still remains the best option.
