Conversion from HEIC to JPG while retaining essential EXIF metadata

npm install heic-jpg-exif

const convert = require('heic-jpg-exif');

Convert an HEIC image file to a JPEG file at maximum quality (1)

await convert('input.HEIC', 'output.jpg', 1);

Convert an HEIC buffer to a JPEG buffer

const inBuffer = fs.readFileSync('input.HEIC');
const outBuffer = await convert(inBuffer);

The HEIC image is first converted to a JPG with heic-convert and then complemented with the EXIF metadata of the source image using exifr and piexif-ts.
