HEIF Conversion Utility

Context

I want to export all data from Google Photos Takeout into my iCloud library, which as of iOS 11 now uses HEIF as standard. iCloud can accept the existing photo formats, but I think it'd be nice to see how much of a size reduction I can get by reencoding all my media into the new standard.

Installation

System Requirements

  • imagemagick
    • Might require a reinstall if libheif is not installed first

python3

  • Wand, for access to the imagemagick API
    • Might require MAGICK_HOME directory to be set: eg,

export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/imagemagick/7.1.0-4_2

  • tqdm, for pretty progress bars
