Image Conversion with Go

Convert .heic images in a specified directory to a jpg. Heic images are usually produced by apple products when using the ultra-wide camera mode. This script makes it easy to convert these images into the jpg format which is universally accepted.

• To specify the directory that has all the images you want to convert, change the INPUT_PATH variable in ./helpers/constants/constants.go. This can be anything, as long as it is a valid path 😄.
• To specify the directory that will contain all the converted images, change the OUTPUT_PATH variables in ./helpers/constants/constants.go. Again this can be anything, as long as it is a valid path 😄.
• Currently, only .jpg images are the only file type that is supported for the converted images.

Installation

• Specify the necessary parameters in ./helpers/constants/constants.go as detailed above.
• Run the command below. This will start your image conversion!
  • go run main.go

Notes

• This script uses Goroutines and Waitgroups to see a bit of a performance boost, rather than employing synchronous code. Since this script reads images off a disk, this is I/O bound so implementing Goroutines and Waitgroups help with performance.
• If you have any suggestions on how to make this script better, please add an issue here:
