    Convert HEIC to JPEG

This script will convert all HEIC files in the current directory to JPEG files.
Prerequisites


The libheif-examples command must be installed.

If you are on a Linux system, you can install the libheif-examples command by running the following command:
sudo apt install libheif-examples

If you are on a macOS system, you can install the libheif-examples command by running the following command:
brew install libheif-examples

Instructions

Once you have installed the libheif-examples command, you can run this command by pasting it into the terminal.
for file in *.heic; do heif-convert -q 92 $file ${file/%.heic/.jpg}; done

Here is a breakdown of the command line:

for - This keyword starts a for loop.
file - This variable is used to iterate over the files in the current directory.
in - This keyword is used to specify the range of files that the for loop will iterate over. In this case, the *.heic pattern matches all files that end in .heic.
do - This keyword marks the start of the code that will be executed for each file in the loop.
heif-convert - This command is used to convert HEIC files to other formats.
-q - This option specifies the quality of the output JPEG file.
92 - This value specifies a quality of 92%, which is a good balance between quality and file size.
$file - This variable is used to reference the current file in the loop.
${file/%.heic/.jpg} - This part of the line replaces the .heic extension of the current file with .jpg.
done - This keyword marks the end of the for loop.

Output

The script will create a new JPEG file for each HEIC file in the current directory. The new JPEG files will have the same name as the original HEIC files, but with the .jpg extension.
