ImageMagick and libheif

[Jay123210599]

How do I use ImageMagick to make lossless heic/heif files? The pre-built installer versions contain libheif but it doesn't contain the x265 encoder. What should I do?

If your libheif version was compiled with plugin support, you can install the x265 encoding plugin separately in the libheif plugin directory. See the README of this github repository.

If you're on Linux, the plugins may be packaged separately and you simply might have to install them.

I'm on Windows.

Possibly this would be better addressed to the ImageMagick project? If you have developer tools, you may be able to rebuild it yourself with a different configuration.

I see you've already asked it at ImageMagick. See ImageMagick/ImageMagick#7755 and ImageMagick/ImageMagick#7752
