HEIC support

Feature request

What are you trying to achieve?

Would like to see HEIC support to enable conversion from HEIC to other supported formats. Any plans for HEIC support?

Support for patent-encumbered HEIC images using hevc compression requires the use of a globally-installed libvips compiled with support for libheif, libde265 and x265.

This is for output though right? In my case I want to convert from HEIC and output to say, JPEG.

The same applies to both decoding and encoding.
