How to Quickly Convert Multiple HEIC Files to JPG on Mac

Starting with iOS 11, photos captured on iPhone are saved by default in HEIC or HEIF format, which offers better image quality than JPG despite having a much smaller file size. While HEIC files are ideal for people using Apple’s ecosystem, including iPhone and Mac, there can be compatibility issues when sharing or using software like Photoshop that doesn’t support HEIC yet.

To avoid these issues with Windows and older versions of macOS, one can convert HEIC files to JPG. While many programs and online services let you convert photos for free, Mac users can easily save HEIC as JPG without using third-party tools.

Surprisingly, macOS Monterey 12 offers a built-in ‘Convert Image’ Quick Action in Finder, allowing you to quickly convert HEIC images to JPG, without using Preview. You can even convert multiple images at once. Whereas on macOS Big Sur or earlier, users had to manually set up a Quick Action using Automator to perform the same task.

Now let’s see how to change multiple photos from HEIC to JPG on a Mac.

How to batch convert HEIC to JPG on macOS Monterey

  1. Go to Finder or Desktop and right-click the HEIC file you want to convert. For bulk conversion, hold down the Command key and select multiple HEIC files.
  2. In the right-click menu, go to ‘Quick Actions’ and select ‘Convert Image‘. how to convert heic to jpg using quick action on mac monterey
