Java HEIC Reader

The JDeli Java image library includes a HEIC Reader to read HEIC images into Java. The HEIC Decoder is written in 100% Java and provides HEIC support with no dependencies.

Key information:

• 100% Java solution. No dlls or dependencies on native code
• Supports Bilevel, Grayscale and RGB images

Quick start:

Add JDeli to your project via Maven or Gradle, or see using JDeli with Java modules.

JDeli can automatically detect the file type and will use the HEIC File Reader

BufferedImage image = JDeli.read(heicImageFile);

or

HeicDecoder decoder = new HeicDecoder();
BufferedImage image = decoder.read(heicData);

See the full Javadoc.
