How to Convert HEIC to PNG/JPG with Node.js

Question

Is there a way to convert HEIC images to png/jpg using node js?

I'm currently on a nest js project and I tried multiple packages and none of them worked! I tried heic-convert, sharp, and heic2any

The only thing that worked for me is installing imageMagick on the machine and thats not an option for me.

Brother, heic-convert should work well, I just ran this code and it worked well for me.

const fs = require("fs/promises");
const convert = require("heic-convert");

(async () => {
  try {
    const inputBuffer = await fs.readFile(__dirname + "/sample.heic");
    const outputBuffer = await convert({
      buffer: inputBuffer, // the HEIC file buffer
      format: "JPEG", // output format
      quality: 1, // the jpeg compression quality, between 0 and 1
    });

    await fs.writeFile("./result.jpg", outputBuffer);
    console.log("done");
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
})();

please try this on a fresh nodejs app and let me know.
