HEIC to JPG Converter

This Python script efficiently converts HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Format) files to JPG format, now with parallel processing for faster conversions and enhanced user experience.

Key Improvements

  • Parallel Processing: Utilizes ThreadPoolExecutor for concurrent conversion of HEIC files, improving the speed of batch conversions.
  • Command-Line Interface (CLI): Interact with the script directly using command-line arguments for easier execution and fine-tuning.
  • Optimized Image Processing: Leverages the pillow-heif library for efficient HEIC processing.
  • Improved Error Handling: More robust error management ensures smoother execution.
  • Progress Tracking: Track the conversion progress for large file sets.
  • Enhanced Folder Management: Confirms user intent before potentially overwriting existing output directories.
  • Quality Control: Customize the output JPG quality (1-100) with a simple command-line option.

What this code does ?

This script allows you to seamlessly convert multiple HEIC files into JPG format with control over the quality and parallel processing options.

  • Automated Output Directory: Creates a dedicated folder named "ConvertedFiles" within the HEIC directory to store the converted JPGs.
  • Parallel Conversion: Process multiple files simultaneously by specifying the number of workers using the -w argument.
  • Quality Control: Specify the desired JPG image quality using the -q argument.
  • Error Handling: Skips individual files that encounter errors without halting the entire process.

Installation

  1. Install the required dependency: pip install pillow pillow-heif
  2. Run the Script:
python main.py <path/to/your/heic/directory>

Set JPG quality (1-100):

python main.py -q 90 <path/to/your/heic/directory>

Set the number of parallel workers:

python main.py -w 8 <path/to/your/heic/directory>

Combine quality and parallel workers:

python main.py -q 90 -w 8 <path/to/your/heic/directory>

Features

  • Parallel Processing: Convert multiple HEIC files concurrently for faster performance.
  • User-friendly CLI for efficient conversion.
  • Optimized HEIC processing for faster performance.
  • Robust error handling for a smooth user experience.
  • Informative progress tracking.
  • Flexible output directory management.
  • Quality control for JPG output.

This script provides a highly efficient and flexible solution for converting HEIC images to JPG format, making it ideal for both small and large-scale conversions.
