Convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac

A Mac can save HEIC photos as JPG without installing anything: Preview converts files you open, and Photos exports pictures from your library. Preview suits a handful of files; Photos lets you pick the size and how the exported files are named.

With Preview

  1. Open the HEIC photo in Preview, then choose File > Export.
  2. Click the Format pop-up menu and choose JPEG. You can then set the quality.
  3. Type a new name or choose another location, then click Save.

For several photos at once, open them in one Preview window, select them in the sidebar, then follow the same steps.
