Both formats, briefly
JP2IN
JP2 is the JPEG 2000 container, and it works on wavelets rather than the small blocks of ordinary JPEG. It compresses either lossily or losslessly, blurs rather than blocks as quality drops, and can be decoded progressively or only for the region you asked for. Those properties made it standard in digital cinema packages, medical imaging systems, and satellite and mapping data. Browsers largely skipped it, so files usually need converting for general use.
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.
