In : with Image(filename='img.jpg') as img: After doing a brew install imagemagick and pip install wand however I was unsuccessful. It appears that ImageMagick may be an option. It looks like support in python-pillow was requested ( #2806) but there are licensing / patent issues preventing it there. OSError: cannot identify image file 'IMG_2292.HEIC' > 2687 % (filename if filename else fp)) ~/.env/p圓/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py in open(fp, mode)Ģ686 raise IOError('cannot identify image file %r' OSError Traceback (most recent call last) IPython 7.2.0 - An enhanced Interactive Python. Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information Here is the result of working with Python 3.7 and Pillow when trying to read a file of this type. I still want to be able to process HEIC files for doing file conversion, extracting metadata, etc.

I could modify phone settings to save as JPG by default but that doesn't really solve the problem of being able to work with the filetype from others.

The High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format is the default when airdropping an image from an iPhone to a OSX device.
