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.

GIF files are a popular image format on the internet and are a common format used in the distribution of internet memes. GIF files have been around since the dawn of the internet and were designed to offer high-resolution image capabilities within a small file size.

Due to their ability to be used as an animation format, GIF files have become particularly popular as the format of choice for distributing internet memes. Their lack of full 24-bit color support has, however, seen the PNG format used in preference to GIF for many applications.

Uses

GIF files are particularly useful for storing animation sequences, and this is one of the main reasons for the format's popularity. In the early days of the internet, the use of GIF files to store photographic images and other web assets declined in favor of more modern formats such as JPG and PNG.
