Python HEIC to PNG

Background

I am a Windows User, while my Apple Friend send me images, sometimes those images are in HEIC format.

Hence I decided to make a Code to convert it to PNG so I can view those images.

Link to the Repo: Python HEIC to PNG

How it works

The Code:

from PIL import Image
from pillow_heif import register_heif_opener
import os

register_heif_opener()
heic_files = [photo for photo in os.listdir(r"input") if '.HEIC' or '.heic' in photo]

os.chdir(r"input")

for photo in heic_files:
    print("Converting: ",photo)
    temp_img = Image.open(photo)
    png_photo = photo.replace('.HEIC','.png')
    temp_img.save(png_photo)
print("Done")

How it works

1. Create a venv
2. Install the required packages from requirements.txt
3. Create a input file and add your HEIC images into it
4. Run the script
