heic-converter

Simple python script to recursively convert all *.heic files in a folder to *.jpg and compress the original files. All EXIF data is preserved.

I wrote this script because I had *.heic files saved sporadically in a large folder tree that I needed converted to *.jpg format.

Simply run the script

python heic-converter.py <path>

and it will traverse the folder tree starting in <path> and convert all *.heic files to *.jpg. The script converts the files in place and compresses the original *.heic files in each subfolder.

Dependencies

Requires Pillow and pillow-heif

pip install pillow
pip install pillow_heif
