Apple has introduced a new image format in iOS 11 called HEIF (.heic file extension). I know you can export images as JPG from iOS devices, but I want to upload the HEIC-files to my server and convert them there to JPEG files that can be shown on all other devices.

Can anyone recommend a good and efficient way to achieve this?

ANSWER:

Since this question has been closed, I will edit in my answer here for the rest of you. We now use this library for converting HEIC to JPEG: https://github.com/monostream/tifig

Also ImageMagick now support converting HEIC to JPEG thanks to a fork from @toshic

Thank you to @monostream and @toshic for your great contributions!

There is no such library available right now for image conversion on a server for HEIF to JPEG, ImageMagick doesn't have support for that till now.

The only way you can do this by exporting your images from your device, that should produce a JPEG image.

Nokia has a HEIF reader javascript implementation which you can have a look at: Nokiatech heif

Alternate: You can try this website if this works.
