An HEIC file is a relatively new image format created to offer greater quality and compression ratios than older formats such as JPG. HEIC has found widespread adoption among image editing software thanks to the use of the format by Apple on their phones and tablets.

Apple's adoption of the format was critical. Photos taken on Apple devices, such as their smart phones, being saved to the HEIC format has created a lot of interest in the format and a desire from third parties to support it.

Uses

As HEIC was designed to be a direct replacement for the JPG format, it shares the same uses; for example, it is best used for storing photographic images rather than logos and other images that require a lossless compression format.

AVIF files are a re-imagination of the popular lossy compression image formats such as JPEG and aim to offer better compression ratios while delivering higher-quality results. Compared to the JPEG format, the AVIF format is still relatively new and has yet to gain widespread support among image viewing and editing applications.

With that said, support for AVIF files is growing and is now supported by the majority of web browsers, with support added in recently released versions.

Uses

Due to their high compression capabilities and support for transparency channels, AVIF files are becoming a popular alternative to both JPEG and PNG files, which makes them a perfect format for web based images and other similar applications.
