<p>Often times when you save or export photos from iOS to iCloud they often render themselves into <code>heif</code> or <code>heic</code> formats. Both macOS and iOS have no problem working with these formats, but a lot of software programs will not even recognize these filetypes. The obvious step would just be to convert them via an application or online service, right?</p>
-
<p>Not so fast! Wouldn&#8217;t it be much cleaner if we could simply right-click our <code>heif</code> or <code>heic</code> files and convert them directly in Finder? Well, I&#8217;ve got some good news for you&#8230;</p>

<p>For this example script we are going to convert the image to JPG format. You can freely change this to whatever format you wish (PNG, TIFF, etc.). We&#8217;re just keeping things basic for this tutorial. Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;ve never worked with Automator before because setting things up is incredibly simple.</p>

<p>If you ever have the need to edit this script (for example, changing the default format to <code>png</code>), you will need to navigate to your <code>~&#47;Library&#47;Services</code> folder and open your custom heif Quick Action in the Automator application. </p>

<p>Simple as that. Happy converting!</p>
