On Photoprism Claude, and HEIC Files on a Pi

When I migrated my Photoprism library from an HP Laptop to a Pi5 I found that there was a nine thousand photo hole in the total photo count. It's when I looked closer that I found that the gap between expected photos and actual photos is down to Photoprism and the Pi5 not playing nicely when it comes to HEIC files.

I decided to experiment with Claude AI as it is flavour of the month and the first advice it gave was "force reindex the entire library". Anyone who has played with raspberry Pi will know why that was an absurd proposition. I played along anyway and within minutes my Pi was sulking so I went for a walk, on the off chance that it would be ready when I got home. It was still sulking, and worse than that, pings took up to 30 milliseconds or more.

I tried sudo reboot, and I tried a soft reset via the button. I waited a while and when neither worked I went for a hard reboot. That's when the photo drive failed to mount properly so I rebooted the Pi properly and the drive mounted so I could continue.

The Photosync JPEG experiment

Now that we see that blind trust in Claude is misplaced we can use the human rational mind. As I saw that the photos that were missing appeared to be iphone photos I decided to change the photosync presets for uploading to the Pi5 Photoprism instance. I told it only to upload JPEGs. I refreshed the index via the web UI.

The Shell Script

Now that we determined that the HEIC files were missing and that refreshing the index was not working we went ahead with creating a shell script that would convert HEIC files to jpeg files using heif-convert.

The shell script found the HEIC files, in situ, converted them to jpeg and then deleted the HEIC files. The result is a HEIC free library.

The Result

After re-indexing the library with the jpegs we had 115,000 files, rather than 110,000 so we recovered 5000 files, out of 9000. When I explored the library this morning I saw that the iphone photos seem to be there, and that the library, especially for recent photos, is healthier.

Tensorflow Disable: True

In this situation it was necessary to disable tensorflow because it led to the Pi crashing twice, where I had to hard reset. With Immich you have granular control on what it is doing so with a Pi you can be as gentle, or as demanding as you want. If you're gentle it runs for hours, without crashing. If you're not it crashes.

Disabling tensorflow allowed me to try a final index within minutes rather than hours, or days.

And Finally

The calamity of having 9000 images, seemingly all camera phone photos missing can be quite distressing, until you realise that the missing images appear to be HEIC files. I know that I prefer to keep HEIC files, rather than converted files, when possible. With Photoprism, and a Pi5 it makes sense to keep things simple, and upload JPEGs.

Due to these circumstances I see Photoprism on the Pi as a backup solution.

4️⃣ suite photos

Avec @ente l'app sur smartphone s'améliore de mois en mois au fil des mises à jour, j'y retrouve beaucoup de fonctionnalités bien pratiques que j'ai choisi d'activer, en particulier la reconnaissance des visages et la géolocalisation des photos. Je sauvegarde mes photos au format #HEIC au lieu de JPG, ça prend en moyenne 3 fois moins de place pour la même qualité.

L'interface Ente est certes un peu moins souple que GPhotos, mais ça me convient bien comme ça.

HEIC – định dạng ảnh mặc định trên iPhone – tiết kiệm dung lượng hơn JPG nhưng gặp khó khăn khi dùng ngoài hệ sinh thái Apple. Windows, web, email hay công cụ thiết kế thường không hỗ trợ. Người dùng thường phải chuyển đổi sang PNG/JPG, dùng iCloud hoặc cài codec. Công cụ trực tuyến như heictopng.net giúp chuyển đổi nhanh không cần cài đặt. #HEIC #iPhone #Apple #PhotoFormat #HEICtoPNG #ĐịnhDạngẢnh #ChuyểnĐổiẢnh #CôngNghệ #Tech #iOS

Почему файлы стали меньше: форматы фото и видео (JPEG, HEIC, AV1)

Форматы изображений и видео вроде JPEG, HEIC и AV1 давно стали частью нашей повседневности. Мы снимаем на смартфон, пересылаем фото в мессенджерах, заливаем видео в облако — и редко задумываемся, почему одинаковый кадр может весить в три раза меньше, но выглядеть так же. Рассмотрим, как современные кодеки экономят место, почему файлы стали компактнее и зачем это вообще понадобилось. Детали под катом.

OnlyJPG – Client-Side PNG/HEIC/AVIF/PDF/etc to JPG

On the latest #ATPpodcast I heard @siracusa pronounce the HEIC image format as a word - "heek" [hiːk]. He is the first human I have heard pronounce it as a word. I feel like, for me, it will always be "H E I C".

There are several acronyms I treat this way, that I've heard others say as words, thinking about it.

PNG, SVG, BMP, IFF, SQL, URL, LED, GUI, PDF, PCMCIA (well...), etc.

I am old and set in my ways.

By the way, GIF is not on that list because I pronounce it as a word starting with a soft G, because that is how that is pronounced.

Современные форматы изображений или почему мы до сих пор на JPEG?

Формат JPEG появился в 1992 году и стал де-факто стандартом хранения фотографий в интернете. Спустя более 30 лет появляются всё более эффективные и продвинутые альтернативы: WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL и другие. Однако даже в 2025 году JPEG продолжает доминировать. Почему так происходит, несмотря на очевидные преимущества новых форматов? В этой статье мы проведем обзор форматов и разберёмся в причинах.

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

Working with #heic files on #linux or well #fedora I guess is no fun. It's bad.

Fetch Apple iPhone photos to your Linux computer (2)

In part 1 photos from an Apple iPhone were copied to a Linux computer with LocalSend. In that case the resulting files will be having the HEIC file extension. That is OK for viewing the photos with image viewers that support the heic file extension.

Converting to png or jpg may be useful if you want to upload the photos to the Internet.

On Linux :

1. Install the libheif-examples package. It is called like that on Debian or Ubuntu or Linux distributions based on Debian or Ubuntu (e.g. Linux Mint, MX Linux). On other Linux distributions like
2. Open a terminal. Start conversion of a file named photo1.HEIC would go like this :

heif-convert photo1.HEIC photo1.jpg

If you want to use a batch operation on a lot of files on the command-line,

or want to use a GUI application, see for example here : Ubuntuhandbook site,

or use DDG, Startpage or a good search engine to search for something like :

heic convert linux files

p.s.

If you are interested in trying out the libimobiledevice method like mention in part 1,

see here the Arch Linux wiki entry to get some hints about how to apply it for your Linux distribution. I’ve written that it can be confusing because you cannot delete files and only copy but the interesting thing I forgot to mention is that with this method you can see a lot more of the file structure and other files on iOS.

Oh man ist das frustrierend :blobcatsad:

Fossify zeigt AVIF zwar an, aber nicht voll aufgelöst:
https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/252

Andere Apps durchprobiert, zeigen die Bilder zum Teil gar nicht an.

Da hast ein scharfes, hochaufgelöstes Bild. Und ein modernes Format um die zu speichern. 🤓
Und dann kannst das auf deinem Telefon nur Kartoffel-Qualität angucken. 🥔 🧓🏽

Werd ich wohl auch erst mal bei JPEG bleiben müssen und 5-8x soviel Speicherplatz verbraten? 😭 😐

FFS, why can't Android Gallery Apps read Exif data from AVIF images? 😑

I have the Fossify Gallery¹ on my phone.
It lacks e.g. that editing Photos will greatly reduce their resolution 🫠

Now I started converting my JPGs to AVIF, preserving the Exif data of course.
But tada, it won't read them => sort by capture date won't work 🤷🏼

Tried another one², but won't read them either. 🥲

Es wäre jetzt auch mal an der Zeit, dass Webseiten #HEIF / #HEIC fressen.

Adobe #Lightroom umí konečně po 7 letech exportovat fotky do modernějšího formátu než do 38 let starého #TIF, nebo 32 let starého #JPEG. Sláva! Sice to není Apple #HEIC, ale i za #AVIF patří vřelé díky!

A fresh #iPhone again defaults to making photos in #HEIC / #HEIF.

Which is not usable outside of iPhone/Mac, cannot be uploaded to Flickr, and even lose the capture date/time information in some workflows with Gimp.

Switching to JPEG very quickly now...

I posted a few weeks ago suggesting people to not use HEIF for iPhone photos, but JPEG, for ease of sharing.

Well, I'm replacing my aging iPhone 11 Pro Max with its 12MP camera with an iPhone 15 Pro Max with its --48MP-- camera.

Upon reflection, I shall be using HEIF right soon.

Okay, I'm coming out of my libheif rabbithole with a new #NodeJS package: libheif-node-dy

It's a native module for #HEIF / #HEIC image decoding. Compared to the popular heic-decode, it's 3 to 5 times faster. It's dynamically linked against libheif for good measure, to completely make sure LGPL dynamic linking rule is satisfied.

This does mean you have to separately install libheif, but libheif is widely available in all distros so it shouldn't be hard to get.
