Both formats, briefly
CR2IN
CR2 is the raw file a Canon camera writes: sensor readings, plus the shooting settings stored as notes instead of baked into the picture. Nothing has been demosaiced or contrast adjusted yet, so you can reset white balance, pull back a blown sky and grade color later without the damage those edits cause in a JPG. The costs are size and compatibility. CR2 files are heavy, and many programs and upload forms will not read them, so photographers export a JPG or TIFF copy for everyone else.
HEICOUT
HEIC is what an iPhone saves when the camera app is left on its default setting. It uses HEVC compression, so a photo takes noticeably less space than the JPG version, and one file can hold a burst, the frames of a Live Photo, depth data and non-destructive edits. Apple devices read it without help. Plenty of Windows software, older phones and upload forms still do not, which is why HEIC is the format people most often need converted before they can share a picture.
