Convert Images in Bulk on Mac
Use FileBrowser Pro on your Mac to convert images in bulk — changing formats like JPG, PNG, or HEIC — so you can organise and use your photos in the format you need, fast.
How to convert an image
To convert an image, right click it and choose "Convert". This option is also available on the image viewer menu if you open the image first.
Convert your image to one of the following formats:
- JPG
- HEIC
- TIFF
Clicking the required format will create a copy of the file in the same folder.
Note: Images in the Photo Library need to be copied elsewhere before they can be converted.
Custom Tasks - Convert Images in Bulk
To convert multiple images you need to create a Custom Task. Follow our simple steps below to create a task that you can re-use easily on any photo selections.
- From FIleBrowser for Mac's Home Screen, click the "All Tasks" locations and click the "+" icon in the bottom toolbar and select "Create Custom Task".
- Give your new Custom task a name like "Convert to JPG"
- Click the "Insert Step" button
- Change this to new section to "Convert Images..." and change the second dropdown to the format you want your images converted to.
- Set whether you want them saved to the same folder or not.
- Once done click "Close".
Return to your folder with your photos in:
- Click "Select" then select all the photos you want to convert.
- Click the 3 dots Context menu and select "Run Task".
- A menu will appear showing you all your Custom tasks, select the new "Convert to JPG" task you just created.
- This will show you a summary of changes, click "Start Now".
Your custom task has been saved so you can re-use this on any photos you select in future.
