The scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file is a web-friendly vector format developed for designing 2D graphics. It has enhanced support for animation, interactivity, and transparency. Unlike bitmapped raster file formats like JPEGs, SVG files use commands or mathematical formulas to store images in gridlines and points. The advantages of SVG are that its images are scalable without losing image quality, making them ideal for high-resolution displays and responsive web designs. The file format compresses images using XML code and the Gzip algorithm, resulting in smaller files. Besides, metadata stored as literal texts enables its contents to be easily indexed, searched, and retrieved.
HEIC stands for High-Efficiency Image Container file, a new or next-generation container file format developed by Apple Inc. for new models of iPads and iPhones. The container format can store and transfer image sequences and individual digital images. A HEIC file or image covers rich multimedia files, including other media streams like video, audio, and time texts. The file format uses high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) to compress images, significantly saving space and bandwidth. HEIC advanced compression technology preserves image quality, resulting in small and high-quality photos compared to PNGs and JPEGs.
To convert files from SVG to HEIC use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any SVG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the SVG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the SVG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select HEIC.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted HEIC file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the HEIC file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a SVG file as a HEIC file, you first convert it to HEIC and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from SVG to HEIC, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the SVG file, Download the HEIC file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of HEIC is its efficient compression and high-quality image reproduction. The main disadvantage of SVG is that it is not well-suited for complex images like photographs. Therefore, converting SVG images to HEIC might be advantageous in specific environments that support the HEIC format and prioritize efficient storage and quality. Check this SVG vs. HEIC comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
