HEIC to JSON
Turn HEIC photo (iPhone) files into JSON data files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.
How to do it
- Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
- Drop your HEIC files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
- Type count colorsand press Enter. Unique and most common colors (.json).
- Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The JSON files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.
What it needs
Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.
How it was tested
A real HEIC file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the JSON that came out was opened and checked with Python parser to make sure it is what it says it is.
Other ways to get there
These skills also take a HEIC and give back a JSON: Extract Palette and Show Metadata.
