HEIC to PNG Converter Script in Python

heic2png.py

# HEIC to PNG Converter Script
#
# This script will:
# 1. Check if required packages (Pillow, pillow-heif) are installed, and install them if they aren't.
# 2. Prompt the user for a folder path containing HEIC files.
# 3. Create a "Converted" subfolder for output.
# 4. Convert all HEIC images from the specified folder to PNG format in the "Converted" subfolder.
# 5. Print progress messages for successful conversions.
