How to Quickly Convert Multiple HEIC Files to JPG on Mac

Convert HEIC to JPG on Mac in bulk using Quick Action, Preview, or external apps.

Starting with iOS 11, photos captured on iPhone are saved by default in HEIC or HEIF format. As compared to JPG, the HEIC format possess a better image quality despite having a much smaller file size. HEIC files are great for people who work around Apple’s ecosystem such as on iPhone and Mac. That said, there can be incompatibility when sharing and most software including Photoshop does not support HEIC yet.

To avoid compatibility issues with Windows and older versions of macOS, one can easily convert HEIC files to JPG. While several programs and online services let you change photos from HEIC to JPG for free. At the same time, Mac users can conveniently save HEIC as JPG without using third-party tools.

Surprisingly, macOS Monterey 12 adds the ability to quickly convert HEIC to JPG directly from Finder and without using Preview. A built-in ‘Convert Image’ Quick Action makes this possible. With Monterey, you can also convert multiple HEIC to JPG at once on Mac. This is certainly the easiest and fastest way to batch convert HEIC to JPG I’ve come across.

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 you can change multiple photos from HEIC to JPG on your Mac.
