A package to convert JPG images to HEIF format

JPG to HEIF Converter

This project allows you to freely convert JPG images to HEIF format. HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is a more efficient image format in terms of storage and quality compared to traditional formats like JPG.

Why HEIF?

HEIF, as the name suggests, is a high-efficiency image format. Not only does it offer smaller file sizes compared to JPG, but it also provides better image quality. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to save storage space without compromising on image quality.
