What is a HEIC file?

The Moving Picture Experts Group introduced HEIC format in 2015. The primary purpose of HEIC files is as their name implies High-Efficiency Image Format/Container to save space with storing images and image sequences in smaller file sizes. HEIC format has an advanced compression algorithm that provides up to 50% smaller image size while maintaining image quality. Also, HEIC images have a 16-bit tonal range that ensures the vibrant color palette. In comparison to other digital image formats, HEIC has a real perspective to become the most popular image format.

Some of the operating systems that support HEIC format are Apple iOS 11 and later, Mac High Sierra and later, Google’s Android P, etc.

ARW Converter

What is a ARW file?

ARW file is associated with Sony Alpha Raw image file or ArtStudio project file. As ARW is based on TIFF format as a raw image format that collects all information from the Sony camera sensor, these files are enormous and impossible to send or share before compression to a more usable image format. Even though ARW is acting as a digital negative, there is a way to manipulate it before compression. To open the ARW file, you can use programs such as Microsoft Windows Photos and Windows Live Photo Gallery on Windows OS or Preview for Mac OS. However, you’ll be required to install the Sony Raw Driver to be able to use these programs.
