How to Convert Automator Actions as Apps on Mac – Guide

Last mobile devices use an image file format known as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Codec) for photos on iPhones and iPads. Conceptually, it is similar to JPGs in that it is an image format designed for sharing and uses lossy compression. It maintains good quality and keeps the file size small. Also, it is not ideal for editing images or storing them in a main file. The reason this format is becoming more popular is that it uses a newer and more efficient algorithm to encode the data than JPG. This means smaller files with similar or better image quality. And smaller files are especially important for sharing images on the Internet or transferring from mobile devices. The problem with HEIC is that it’s not as universally compatible as JPGs. If you try to send a HEIC file to someone else, there’s a good chance they won’t be able to open it. If you convert HEIC file to JPG, it will become much more compatible. There are several ways to do this, which I’ve described elsewhere on this site. The method I’m focusing on here not only converts the file but also provides a very useful little workflow trick that comes in handy if you are batch converting a file or multiple HEIC files. If you’re using a Mac – at least a high-end Mac – you don’t need any fancy software. It is a feature built right into macOS and accessible through Automator. To save time next time, you can set it up as a quick action (or what used to be called context menu services) so you can right click on the file and convert it to JPG with a single click.
