Side By Side
The honest trade-off, not a sales pitch.
| Feature | HEIC | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | High efficiency HEVC based | Lossless |
| Transparency | Sometimes, depends on file | Yes |
| Animation | Can store sequences | No |
| Typical Size | Small for phone photos | Larger for photos |
| Best For | iPhone photos and Apple workflows | Logos, screenshots, transparency |
| Verdict | Best to convert for wider sharing | Best for crisp graphics |
