How to Convert From HEIC to JPG in Python on WIndows

Question

Im trying to convert HEIC to JPG using python. The only other answers about this topic used pyheif. I am on windows and pyheif doesn't support windows. Any suggestions? I am currently trying to use pillow.

Answer 1

The following code will convert an HEIC file format to a PNG file format

from PIL import Image
import pillow_heif

heif_file = pillow_heif.read_heif("HEIC_file.HEIC")
image = Image.frombytes(
    heif_file.mode,
    heif_file.size,
    heif_file.data,
    "raw",
)

image.save("./picture_name.png", format("png"))
