HEIF at a glance

HEIF

Convert to HEIF when the destination benefits from modern image containers that can preserve more than a single flat raster, such as advanced mobile-photo workflows or efficient high-quality storage.

It is a strong target in contemporary imaging ecosystems.

OGG at a glance

OGG

Convert to OGG when you need efficient compressed audio in an open-format ecosystem, such as games, web projects, software bundles, or platform-neutral distribution.

It is a good target when open standards matter and recipients can be expected to use modern media software.

For maximum everyday consumer familiarity, MP3 or M4A may still be easier.
