title: Handling .heic files in Java
body: <p>I'm trying to work with a <code>.heic</code> image in Java. Native Java cannot deal with this format. I want to either convert it to a different format (<code>.png</code> would be ideal) or convert it to a <code>java.awt.Image</code> or similar image manipulation structure. I've been searching the internet for libraries but there aren't plenty and the one I could actually use (which was ConvertApi) is not compatible with my project cause I'm using JDK 1.7 (this is non negotiable, it's not my project so I need to work with what I have) and this version of Java doesn't have the <code>CompletableFuture</code> class.</p>
  <p>Is there any other way of doing this?</p>
