Convert those Pesky .HEIC Images to Something More Useful!

i-Device images often come in .heic image file format, but these don't translate well to other uses...

I had a bunch of downloaded .heic files but wanted to convert them to .png format so I wrote this converter!

Notes

• no suitable package was found to convert .heic ➡️ .jpg on Windows.
• panoramic or stretched images may not convert properly.
• skips already-converted files to prevent redundancy

Usage

currently working on a PYPI release...

1. Install required packages
   1. pip install pillow_heif
   2. pip install pillow (or use default PIL - legacy)
   3. see requirements.txt
2. Download the repo .zip
3. Obtain the path to the python main.py program
4. Obtain the path to the .heic image folder
5. Use desired flags

Examples

• Set the destination folder with --dest

  

• Automatically delete converted files with -del

  

Flags

• double-hyphen '--' flags take arguments
• single-hyphen '-' flags are booleans
