HEIC to JPEG — Convert .heic images to .jpeg

[vitor]

Usage

Convert HEIC images to JPEG via the Universal Action.

Alternatively, find images with the heicjpeg keyword.

JPEGs are saved to the Save Folder set in the Workflow’s Configuration but you can imediatelly move them to another destination by choosing Move to New Location in the After Conversion configuration. Other options include showing a notification, revealing files in the Finder, and appending to the File Buffer.

The workflow will avoid overwriting any existing files, opting to stop rather than replace data.

When reporting issues, please include your exact installed versions of:

• The Workflow.
• Alfred.
• macOS.
  

In addition to:

• The debugger output. Perform the failing action, click “Copy” on the top right and paste it here.
• Details on what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. A short video of the steps with the debugger open may help to find the problem faster.
  

Thank you. Accurate and thorough information is crucial for a proper diagnosis which allows me to help you better.

This workflow could add "webp to jpg" support easily. Hope you can update it.

[xforce]

one minor request is if you could change the output file extention name from jpeg to jpg?

It could convert most image formats to most other image formats. But the point was to do something simple to help with learning. You can modify the workflow to support more image formats by editing the File Action Trigger (on the top left).

Or build your own with the Automation Task. That’s one of the goals of this workflow: to teach you to do it yourself. There’s no code necessary.

jpeg is the correct extension, jpg was a workaround for old versions of Windows. For the Automation Task one had to be chosen and the correct one was picked. Changing that would mean changing it for everyone across all workflows that use the task.

Hi,

 

May I know could it be converting multiple photos? I have tried to converting multiple photos by Universal Action, but it seems couldn't converted, there is not response. 

[vitor]

Yes, it can convert multiple photos, as per the example right at the top. If you’re facing an issue, please describe your exact steps and include the debugger output.

[Victor Chor]

Thanks for quick reply. 

 

It's worked,

 

Just now it didn't worked because the destination folder had a same files I did converted.

Thank you for sharing.

Requesting enhancements to this workflow to have ability to support other formats (not just heic>jpeg). Png>jpg, jpg>png, gif>jpg/png, tiff>png/jpg

[vitor]

@andy4222 Connect a Universal Action (or File Action, to restrict to images) to a Convert Image Format Automation Task. Done. You can build it exactly to your liking. This workflow is made specifically to have zero code and demonstrate specific techniques. It’s heavily annotated.

I think it would be great if we have the option to save the converted file next to the original file.

@vitor Great workflow! Is it possible to automatically delete the metadata too? 

[vitor]

That’s out of scope for this workflow. Dealing with metadata is a wholly different thing that requires coding or external tools, and this workflow serves as a codeless example for people to expand on (including removing metadata, if you want).
