Highlights

  • Photos without EXIF data convert again. Annotated or edited iPhone photos stopped with "Unable to get exif data" (#40).
  • Correct colors for iPhone photos. Display P3 color profiles are converted to sRGB, so images no longer look washed out (#37). Date, camera and GPS data are kept.
  • HEIF files (.heif) are supported in addition to .heic. Thanks to @hxlive (#38).
  • The GUI no longer freezes while converting large folders. Idea by @hxlive (#38).
  • Dots in filenames are kept. dr. no.heic now becomes dr. no.jpg instead of dr.jpg (#29).
  • Folder structure can be preserved in the target directory.
  • Progress bar for bulk conversion in the CLI.
  • GUI languages: German and Chinese, switchable without a restart. The translations are now built into heicConverterGui.exe.
  • Installable as a package with uv or pip (#39).
  • The executables are now built automatically by GitHub Actions. Thanks to @janishutz for the workflow (#42).
