Overview

Your new desktop app to convert HEIC files (iOS photos) to PNG or JPG.

👉 Download it here. for Windows and Mac.

This project is a wrapper of this npm package using Electron. It was inspired by fellow Electron desktop app, Image shrinker.

🚀 An important achievement of this project is the boilerplate I've developed to create small apps with Vue.js 3, Parcel 2, and Electron very easily and quickly. There are powerful projects around, but no super simple approach.

👉 So check out the boilerplate if you're interested in creating a similar project.

App designed by Antonio Lozano.

💻 Scripts

• yarn to install dependencies
• yarn serve to run locally Vue.js + electron

Troubleshooting
