HEIC saves space
HEIC is the efficient photo format used by modern Apple devices. It can keep excellent image quality at a smaller file size, which is helpful for an iPhone camera roll and iCloud storage.
JPG is widely compatible
JPG has been supported by websites, office software, and operating systems for years. Choose JPG when you need a single image that almost any application can open without an extra codec.
Choose PDF for a document
PDF is preferable when several photos belong together, need to be printed, or must be submitted to a form. It keeps pages in one predictable file, while HEIC is usually the better format for preserving an original photo.
Quick answers
Should I keep HEIC or convert to JPG?+
Keep HEIC for an efficient original photo library. Use JPG when a website or older app needs broad compatibility.
When is PDF better than both formats?+
Use PDF for multiple pages, printing, forms, receipts, and anything that should travel as one document.
