So what you're getting kind of is the same quality but a smaller file size. It's hard to say if the quality would be better or not because it's really quality versus file size. So you're definitely getting better compression. This one here is 1.1 MB as HEIC but the equivalent in JPEG is 1.7. You can see here the difference in file size. I've exported it as originals and as JPEGs. So here's a folder with a bunch of files that I've exported from Photos. You'll be able to go in, Edit the image, and do things with it in either format. Otherwise in the Photos app it doesn't really matter if it's JPEG or HEIC. Also if you drag and drop out of Photos you'll end up with a JPEG file as well. But if I do a regular Export then I am converting it to JPEG. If I go to File and Export and I do Unmodified Original I'll end up with HEIC, the actual file.
If I go to export these from Photos I may end up with a JPEG and I may end up with HEIC. So I know these are using that new format. If I were to select one and do Command i to get information you can see here not only is the file name HEIC but I look here at the format and you can see it says HEIF format. Here I am in Photos and if I look at these images here I have the titles turned on where it's showing the file name. So HEIC was introduced in iOS 11 and in High Sierra on the Mac.

Which means older machines and machines that are using out of date software will not be able to open, read, or save in HEIC or HEIF format. But it is a different file format than JPEG. What this means is when you take a picture on your iPhone it'll compress better so you have smaller file sizes. So Apple has adopted a standard that was established in 2015 for HEIF to replace JPEG. But JPEG is pretty old and new advances in compression mean that we can do better. JPEG you'd think of as the file format for images. HEIF stands for high efficiency image file format. So HEIC is Apple's file extension for the HEIF file format. Join us and get exclusive content at /patreon. MacMost is brought to you by a community of supporters. You may not know what that is but you're probably using it. Today let's talk about the HEIC file format. Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with.
