PNG vs HEIC

PNG

Lossless compression with transparency support. Great for graphics and screenshots, but file sizes can be large for photographic content.

HEIC

Modern format with superior compression. Reduces file sizes by 40-50% compared to JPEG at similar quality. Native support on Apple devices, increasingly supported elsewhere.

Quality Settings Explained

95-100%

Maximum quality - virtually indistinguishable from original. Best for archival purposes or professional photography.

80-90%

Excellent quality - imperceptible differences for most viewers. Recommended for general use and sharing.

60-75%

Good quality - noticeable compression but still acceptable. Best for web thumbnails or storage-constrained situations.
