When I convert a image from png to heic the image height is reduced in one pixel
Using Imagemagick

$identify example.png
example.png PNG 1125x2436 1125x2436+0+0 8-bit sRGB 2.89787MiB 0.000u 0:00.004

$heif example.png

$identify example.heic
example.heic HEIC 1124x2436 1124x2436+0+0 8-bit YCbCr 0.000u 0:00.001

This tool is really useful for High Sierra and Mojave users, as their sips version isn't capable of converting to heic.
However, anything older than macOS 10.14.4 doesn't come with the "Swift 5 Runtime Libraries" your app links to. They can be downloaded directly from Apple: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1998
Maybe you could add that info to your README.

Anyway, works perfectly 👍

Seems to be throwing this error on Catalina:

Here is native and easier way to convert images to HEIC. This uses native SIPS utility.

for i in *.jpg; do sips -s format heic $i --out converted/$i.heic;done

Just wanted to ask if this is faster in anyway compared to the built in conversion utility sips?

The present default output file location is the same as the source. Could an option be added to provide a different location?
