💖 HEIF-CONVERT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the HEIF-CONVERT(1) page, from the General Commands Manual section, no less. iconic. it's a little command called heif-dec and it's here to decode HEIC/HEIF image files for you. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

heif-dec — decode HEIC/HEIF image 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

heif-dec [-q QUALITY] filename output[.jpg|.png|.y4m]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

heif-dec Convert HEIC/HEIF image to a different image format. that's the whole vibe. you give it a HEIC/HEIF file, it hands you back an image in another format, slay 🎀

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -q QUALITY — Defines quality level between 0 and 100 for the generated output file. Only used for JPEG. so if you're not making a JPEG, this one's just kinda sitting there, lowkey not doing anything 💀

---

🚦 EXIT STATUS 🚦

• 0 — Success 🫶 everything went great, bestie, we ate
• 1 — Failure (syntax or usage error; error while loading, converting or writing image). 😭 something went wrong somewhere in the load → convert → write pipeline, or you just typed it wrong

---

📝 NOTES 📝

The available output formats depend on the libraries that were available at compile time. Supported are JPEG, PNG and Y4M, the file type is determined based on the extension of the output file. so like, the extension is doing all the talking here — .jpg, .png, .y4m, whichever one you pick is the one you get (as long as your build has the library for it, no cap) 🌈
