macOS provides a very simple and fast way to convert images, which can be done directly from the Mac's Finder. Thanks to the practical Quick Actions feature, Mac users can convert images in Finder anywhere into other formats with just a few clicks.

This is a powerful and often overlooked feature, so let's take a look at how this image conversion feature works so that you can quickly convert images while using your Mac.

How to quickly convert images on Mac with quick operations

Ready to convert images on your Mac with Finder? The following are the specific steps:

1. Open Finder and find the image you want to convert.

2. Right-click, control click or two-finger click the image you want to convert, then select Quick Action, and then select Convert Image from the menu.

3. Select what file format you want to convert the image to; you can select JPEG, PNG, or HEIF and select the image size (if you don't want to resize, select 'Actual Size'), then decide whether to retain the metadata, and finally click the "Convert" button.

The image will be converted almost instantly and will appear in the same folder, with the file name the same as the original image. For example, if you have a photo named "SampleImage.jpg" and choose to convert it to PNG, the converted image will become "SampleImage.png".

This quick-operated image conversion tool is very fast and powerful, but you may have noticed that it is limited to JPG, PNG, and HEIF/HEIC formats only. If you want to convert to another image file format, you can use the preview app to convert the image and access more file format types for conversion.

By the way, if you want to convert directly to one of the most common web image file types - JPG, it can also be done directly with the "Convert to JPG" quick operation, as we discussed in our article on WebP images, but the same applies to other image formats.

This is just one of the many quick operation features and capabilities that macOS offers by default, but if you like to tweak your workflow, you can also create your own custom quick operation.
