Batch convert png to jpg on mac without losing quality?
You can convert PNG to JPG on Mac use Automator:
1. Open Automator: Go to Applications > Automator.
2. Create New Document: Select New Document and choose Workflow.
3. Add Action: In the Actions library, search for "Change Type of Images" and drag it to the workflow area.
4. Set to JPEG: Select the option “JPEG” from the dropdown menu.
5. Add Finder Items: Search for “Get Specified Finder Items” and add it to the workflow.
6. Run Workflow: You can then add your PNG files here, and when you run the workflow, it will convert PNG to JPG on Mac.
You might think, "I’ll just right-click and convert using any old app," but not all software handles conversions the same way. Stick with solid apps like Preview or the Photos app on Mac for the best results. You don’t want to end up with low-quality conversions from random third-party apps that might mess with your images. After converting, check the file size of the JPG. Sometimes, you’ll find that the JPGs are way larger than expected, especially if you’ve kept the quality high. It can be easy to fill up your storage space if you’re not paying attention. If size matters, don’t be shy about adjusting the quality when you save it.
