Description | HEIF, which stands for High Efficiency Image Format, is a modern image format that offers several advantages over traditional formats such as JPEG. HEIF images are smaller in size while retaining high image quality, making them ideal for use on websites and mobile devices. Additionally, HEIF supports more advanced features such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 10-bit color depth, allowing for more vibrant and lifelike images. One of the key benefits of HEIF is its ability to store multiple images and even video within a single file. This is achieved through the use of a container format that can hold both images and metadata such as camera settings and GPS data. This makes it easier to manage and share collections of photos and videos. Another advantage of HEIF is its support for advanced compression techniques such as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), which is used to compress video in 4K and higher resolutions. This means that HEIF can store high-quality video at a smaller file size than traditional formats. Despite its many advantages, HEIF is not yet widely adopted by all devices and software. However, with the growing popularity of mobile devices and the need for smaller image and video files, it is likely that HEIF will become more prevalent in the future. As such, it is worth considering using HEIF for your images and videos to future-proof your content and take advantage of its many benefits. |

Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |
