Are there still any HEIF problems? The full HEIF spec was posted to http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyA ... 2_2017.zip recently, so any implementation can be compared against it.

FWIW: ImageMagick has an implementation based on libde265 now, another point to test against to see where the problem might be.

It seems that ImageMagick has quality issue with HEIC to JPEG conversion. Images has a lot of artifacts, you can check it with recent version of imagemagic or with site https://heic2jpeg.com/

I've tested with

# convert --version
