# HEIC to JPEG Converter
## Introduction
This Python script, `heic_to_jpeg.py`, is designed to convert HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Format) files to JPEG format. Before using the script, ensure that you have installed the required packages using pip.
## Prerequisites
1. **Install Pillow and pillow-heif package:**
```bash
pip install Pillow pillow-heif
```
## Usage
1. **Download the Script:**
Download the `heic_to_jpeg.py` script to your local machine.
2. **Edit the Script:**
Open the script in a text editor of your choice. Replace the `folder_dir` variable with the path to the folder containing your HEIC files.
```python
# Replace 'your_custom_folder_path' with the actual path to your folder containing HEIC files
folder_dir = 'your_custom_folder_path'
```
3. **Run the Script:**
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the script is located. Run the following command:
```bash
python heic_to_jpeg.py
```
4. **Optional: Keep Original HEIC Files:**
By default, the script will remove the original .heic file after successfully converting it to JPEG. If you want to retain the original .heic files, follow these steps:
- Locate the following line in the script:
```python
os.remove(input_file)
```
- Comment out the line by adding a `#` at the beginning:
```python
# os.remove(input_file)
```
This change will keep the original .heic file in the specified folder.
## Important Note
- The script will overwrite existing JPEG files with the same name in the specified folder.
- Ensure that you have a backup of your HEIC files before running the script, especially if you choose to remove the original .heic files.
