I'm trying to work with a .heic image in Java. Native Java cannot deal with this format. I want to either convert it to a different format (.png would be ideal) or convert it to a java.awt.Image 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 CompletableFuture class.
Is there any other way of doing this?
