HEIC to JPG Converter

This project is a Python script that converts HEIC images to JPG format in batch mode. It utilizes ImageMagick for the conversion process. The script is packaged as a standalone executable using PyInstaller, which includes the necessary ImageMagick binaries.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• ImageMagick (included in the executable)
• PyInstaller (for building the executable)

Installation

1. Install Python and PyInstaller

Ensure Python with tk feature is installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.

To install PyInstaller, use pip:

pip install pyinstaller

2. Run the Script

You can run the Python script directly:

python HeicToJpg.py

3.Build the Executable

To create the executable, use the following command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data "ImageMagick-6.9.13-14-portable-Q16-HDRI-x64;ImageMagick-6.9.13-14-portable-Q16-HDRI-x64" HeicToJpg.py

• --onefile: Packages everything into a single executable file.
• --windowed: Hides the console window (useful for GUI applications).
• --add-data: Includes the ImageMagick binaries in the executable.

The output executable will be located in the dist directory.

Usage

After building the executable, you can run it directly by double-clicking the generated .exe file. The application will prompt you to select a directory containing .heic files. It will then convert all .heic files in the selected directory to .jpg format.

Notes

Ensure that the path to convert.exe in the script is correct. It is assumed that the ImageMagick binaries are located in the ImageMagick-6.9.13-14-portable-Q16-HDRI-x64 directory. The original .heic files will be deleted after conversion.
