The simplest method
On a Mac, open the ToolCrix HEIC converter, add your photos, select JPG and a quality level, then download the converted files. It handles batches and keeps processing on your Mac.
When this method makes sense
Preview can export a photo, but a browser batch is convenient when you need many JPG files for a website, client handoff, or an app that does not accept HEIC.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Open HEIC to JPG in Safari or Chrome.
- 2
Drag a batch of HEIC photos from Finder.
- 3
Choose JPG and set quality around 85–90%.
- 4
Download the batch as a ZIP and extract it in Finder.
Which option should you use?
| Method | Privacy | Install | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ToolCrix | Local processing | None | Browser batch conversion |
| Preview | Local | Built in | A few individual files |
| Photos export | Local | Built in | Photos library selections |
Tips for a better result
- Keep the HEIC originals because they are usually smaller than equivalent high-quality JPG files.
- Use 90% for editing handoffs and 80–85% for web uploads.
- Convert only copies if the photos are part of your Photos library.
