Convert HEIC to JPG on Mac
On a Mac you can convert HEIC to JPG with Preview (File > Export), with Finder's Convert Image quick action, or in Photos, or drop the files into PixQuiet in Safari for a batch with one ZIP and nothing uploaded.
In your browser (this page)
- Drag HEIC files from Finder onto the drop zone.
- Choose JPG or PNG, set the quality, and pick Strip or Keep for metadata.
- Download the files one by one or as a ZIP.
Handy when you want a ZIP for sending, metadata stripped in the same step, or the same steps on a Mac you don't own.
With Preview
- Open the HEIC file in Preview.
- Choose File > Export.
- Set Format to JPEG (or PNG) and adjust quality.
- Click Save.
For several files, open them in one Preview window, select them in the sidebar, then export.
With Finder
- Select one or more HEIC files in Finder.
- Control-click, choose Quick Actions > Convert Image.
- Choose JPEG or PNG and a size, then convert.
The new files appear next to the originals.
With Photos
If the photo is in your Photos library, select it and choose File > Export > Export Photos, then choose JPEG.
Why nothing is uploaded
Like Preview and Finder, PixQuiet works on your Mac. The page runs the decoder in your browser; your photos are never sent to a server.
FAQ
What's the quickest way to convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac?
For a few files in Finder, Control-click > Quick Actions > Convert Image. For a batch you want as one ZIP, use this page.
Can I convert HEIC to PNG on Mac?
Yes. Preview and Convert Image both offer PNG, and so does this page. See HEIC to PNG.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Preview, Finder, and Photos come with macOS, and this page runs in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.
Does converting remove the location?
Not necessarily. Here, choose Strip to remove EXIF including GPS. For photos you have already converted, use Remove EXIF.
Is the original HEIC changed?
No. Every route here creates a new file and leaves the original alone.
