HEIC at a glance
HEIC
Convert to HEIC when you want compact, high-quality still images in modern photo ecosystems, especially for mobile-first capture and storage.
It is useful when size efficiency matters and the receiving environment supports HEIF-family formats well.
SVG at a glance
SVG
Convert to SVG when the graphic is primarily lines, shapes, text, or flat illustration and needs to scale cleanly across devices.
It is the best target for logos, icons, schematics, UI assets, charts, floor plans, and technical diagrams that may be edited again or embedded on the web.
Use SVG when file sharpness and downstream styling matter more than photographic realism.
For photos or complex raster artwork, PNG, WebP, or AVIF are usually better; SVG is for vector-native content and browser-friendly graphics.
