Unable to read HEIC file #4132

dirkmc · 2024-06-18T15:49:17Z

Possible bug

Running npm install sharp completes without error.
Running node -e "require('sharp')" completes without error.
I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

  System:
    OS: macOS 13.3.1
    CPU: (12) arm64 Apple M2 Max
    Memory: 1.83 GB / 32.00 GB
    Shell: 5.9 - /bin/zsh
  Binaries:
    Node: 18.20.2 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.20.2/bin/node
    Yarn: 1.22.21 - /usr/local/bin/yarn
    npm: 10.5.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.20.2/bin/npm
    pnpm: 9.0.6 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.20.2/bin/pnpm
  npmPackages:
    sharp: ^0.33.4 => 0.33.4

Adding sharp.cache(false) does not fix this problem.
Using rotate() or keepExif() does not fix this problem.

What are the steps to reproduce?

I installed libheif and libvips with

brew install libheif
brew install libvips

Then I installed sharp, apparently succesfully. However I am still unable to convert a heic file to a jpg:

Error processing HEIC file: Error: /tmp/photobase/24fe87a508407a3ca5f19e81b7835f01.heic: bad seek to 2808991

Please provide a minimal, standalone code sample, without other dependencies, that demonstrates this problem

const sharp = require('sharp');
sharp.cache(false);
console.log(JSON.stringify(sharp.format.heif, null, 2));
sharp('input.heic')
  .toFormat('jpeg')
  .toFile('output.jpg', (err, info) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error('Error processing HEIC file:', err);
    } else {
      console.log('Successfully converted HEIC to JPG:', info);
    }
  });

Output of sharp.format.heif:

{
  "id": "heif",
  "input": {
    "file": true,
    "buffer": true,
    "stream": true,
    "fileSuffix": [

      ".heif",
      ".avif"
    ]
  },
  "output": {

    "buffer": true,
    "stream": true,
    "alias": [
      "avif",
      "heic"
    ]
  }
}

libheif and libvips versions:

brew info libheif
==> libheif: stable 1.17.6 (bottled)

brew info libvips
==> vips: stable 8.15.2 (bottled)

Thank you both for your comments.

I tried following the instructions from @iamocean but it resulted in the same error when I run the test script:

Error processing HEIC file: Error: /tmp/photobase/24fe87a508407a3ca5f19e81b7835f01.heic: bad seek to 2808991
heif: Unsupported feature: Unsupported codec (4.3000)

@lovell thanks for the suggestion.
I ran these commands but it seems there's a compilation issue:

npm install --save node-addon-api node-gyp
SHARP_FORCE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm install sharp

npm ERR! In file included from ../common.cc:13:
npm ERR! /usr/local/include/vips/vips8:35:10: fatal error: 'glib-object.h' file not found

dirkmc · 2024-06-19T08:12:12Z

@lovell I had assumed that this output means that it was able to find the heif encoder. Is that incorrect?

console.log(JSON.stringify(sharp.format.heif, null, 2));

{
  "id": "heif",
  "input": {
    "file": true,
    "buffer": true,
    "stream": true,
    "fileSuffix": [
      ".heic",
      ".heif",
      ".avif"
    ]
  },
  "output": {
    "file": true,
    "buffer": true,
    "stream": true,
    "alias": [
      "avif",
      "heic"
    ]
  }
}

lovell · 2024-06-19T08:23:34Z

@iamocean That looks like an npm problem unrelated to sharp.

@dirkmc HEIF is the container, HEVC is the codec, HEIC is the combination of these. I've added commit ae06f46 to make the output of sharp.format.heif more accurate when using prebuilt binaries.

Please can you provide the complete output of running npm install sharp --foreground-scripts without setting SHARP_FORCE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS.

dirkmc · 2024-06-19T08:51:32Z

@lovell thanks for clarifying 👍

It looks like you're trying to use an Intel-based Homebrew environment with an ARM64-based Node.js executable, which won't work. Perhaps you're running Homebrew under Rosetta emulation? If you want to do this, you'll also need to run Node.js under Rosetta emulation.

dirkmc · 2024-06-19T09:46:22Z

Well spotted @lovell, thanks 👍

I uninstalled intel-based Homebrew and installed ARM64-based Homebrew.
Now there is no error when running the install with --foreground-scripts:

$ brew install libheif
$ brew install libvips
$ npm install --save node-addon-api node-gyp
$ npm install sharp --foreground-scripts

However when I run my test file I still get the error message:

lovell · 2024-06-19T11:11:31Z

Thanks, this suggests sharp didn't find a globally-installed libvips. My best guess would be some kind of Homebrew-related configuration or architecture mismatch problem. Make sure the paths in brew environment --plain are pointing to the right place, especially anything related to pkg-config e.g. PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.

dirkmc · 2024-06-19T11:25:57Z

Yes, you're right it was an environment problem - the ARM64-based Homebrew paths weren't set up correctly. Once I fixed the paths I was able to run the test script and successfully open a .heic file.
I know this is well outside the scope of the sharp module so thanks very much for taking the time to help out.

@lovell I have a question, why do I need to install libheif and libvips separately? Can't you handle .heic format images without them?

After running it, I get the error message

 ⨯ Error: source: bad seek to 685403
heif: Unsupported feature: Unsupported codec (4.3000)

lovell · 2024-06-19T12:33:51Z

@iamocean Whilst HEVC remains patent-encumbered, the prebuilt binaries provided by sharp will not support HEIC (HEIF+HEVC) images.
