It also changes file size to one of four settings &#8212; small, medium, large and actual size &#8212; while displaying the file size.

Select another image sizes and in this example the file goes from 2.6 MB down to 31 KB in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll start off by doing some conversion of a picture of my cat. The original image is a 3024 x 4032 JPEG file that is 2.9 MB in size. If I know I&#8217;m going to be sharing the image with someone who is also an Apple user, I can use the High Efficiency Image Format. I select HEIC and a Large image size, and the resulting file is 960 x 1280 pixels and 238 KB in size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By just changing the file format to HEIC and keeping the &#8220;Actual Size&#8221; image, the file size goes down to 1.7 MB. Likewise, if I have a 4032 x 3024 pixel, 1.9 MB HEIC file that I want to send to someone outside of the Apple ecosystem, I can convert the file to JPEG and small size to reduce the file down to a tiny 22 KB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-convert-image-quick-action-in-the-preview-pane\">Convert Image Quick Action in the Preview Pane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you use the Finder&#8217;s Preview Pane?

Quick Actions appear in the Preview Pane, and Convert Image is there for image files (highlighted in red below):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane.jpg\" alt=\"Convert Image Quick Action in Preview Pane\" class=\"wp-image-78751\" width=\"698\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane.jpg 1396w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-264x120.jpg 264w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-284x129.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-190x86.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-264x120@2x.jpg 528w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-284x129@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Convert_Image_Quick_Action_Preview_Pane-190x86@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><figcaption>The Convert Image Quick Action is also in the Finder&#8217;s Preview Pane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-file-formats\">Other File Formats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point it probably looks like the Convert Image Quick Action can only handle JPG, HEIC and PNG file types. Wrong! Let&#8217;s say you want to convert an Adobe Photoshop PSD file to JPG. Image quality may suffer, but the file size is smaller. You don&#8217;t need to open or even own Photoshop to make the conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An old image file format called &#8220;Tag Image File Format&#8221; (TIFF) is a lossless format that usually creates large file sizes. It&#8217;s also convertible using the Quick Action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preserve-metadata-or-not\">Preserve Metadata&#8230;or not<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I found the ability to convert a file and take the metadata off of it quite useful.  .
