RAW

A RAW image is the least-processed image type on this list -- it's often the first format a picture inherits when it's created. When you snap a photo with your camera, it's saved immediately in a raw file format. Only when you upload your media to a new device and edit it using image software is it saved using one of the image extensions explained above. RAW images are valuable because they capture every element of a photo without processing and losing small visual details. Eventually, however, you'll want to package them into a raster or vector file type so they can be transferred and resized for various purposes.

HEIF

HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image File Format, and is a file type that stores images and other media in a compact, high-quality way. HEIF uses the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression algorithm to reduce file sizes without sacrificing image quality. HEIF files can contain multiple images, image sequences, and additional data like depth maps and thumbnails.
