Convert HEIC to JPG on Pop!_OS

Here's a tool that will let you convert .heic images to .jpg images on Pop!_OS or Ubuntu derivatives.

Install Tools

You'll need a few dependencies. Some you can get from apt repos:

sudo apt install libheif-examples

And the other from git:

git clone https://github.com/nitinkamra1992/heic2jpg

Run It

Now run the tool by changing into the directory and pointing the heic2jpg.py script at your .heic images dir:

python heic2jpg.py -d ~/inputPlace -o ./outputPlace

Avoid It

Even better, don't produce .heic images on your Apple device. Change the default to .jpg.
