With thanks.

Googled iCloud (iCloud.com). With only a little poking around, which anyone can do, I discovered the following:

File types that you can use with iCloud Photo Library
Your photos and videos are stored in iCloud exactly as you took them. All of your images are held in their original formats at full resolution — HEIF, JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, HEVC, and MP4, as well as special formats you capture with your iPhone, like slo-mo, time-lapse, 4K videos, and Live Photos.

Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful response.
The reason for my question was that attempting to transfer photos from Mac to iCloud I got a message saying only jpg were accepted. Any ideas?
With thanks. Dale

Since the info above says otherwise, I would contact Apple. Good luck and good shooting.

Don't do it. Everytime I struggle with iCloud, I vow never to use it again.
