Right-click image converter for Mac
macOS has a basic one built in: right-click an image and choose Quick Actions › Convert Image for JPEG, PNG or HEIF. FileMate adds Convert Image to the same menu with JPEG, PNG, HEIC and TIFF, plus WebP where macOS can write it. It starts at once with your saved settings and never asks again. It also reads WebP, TIFF and other formats, and puts Compress Image next to it.
Conversions run on your Mac. Your images never leave your computer.
Convert an image from the right-click menu
- Right-click one or more images in Finder.
- Choose FileMate › Convert Image (or Convert Images).
- Pick the format. The converted copy appears next to the original.
Prefer the actions directly in the right-click menu, without the FileMate submenu? Change it in FileMate Settings › Finder Menu.
macOS Quick Actions or FileMate?
| Quick Actions › Convert Image | FileMate › Convert Image | |
|---|---|---|
| Comes with macOS | Yes (Monterey and later) | No |
| Output formats | JPEG, PNG, HEIF | JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF; WebP where available |
| Asks for settings | Every time | Never: quality and options are set once in Settings |
| Change size while converting | Yes: Small, Medium, Large | No; Compress Image reduces size separately |
| Transparency to JPEG | — | Filled with white or a colour you choose |
| Metadata | Keep or remove | Keep, remove location and device details, or remove all |
| Next to it in the menu | — | Compress Image, Create PDF, Merge into PDF… |
If you convert occasionally and like choosing a size each time, the Quick Action is a good tool. If you convert often, FileMate’s one-click version with saved settings is quicker.
Where’s the Quick Action?
Right-click an image and look for Quick Actions. If Convert Image isn’t there, choose Quick Actions › Customize and turn it on.
Where does the converted image go?
Both save it next to the original, with the same name and the new extension. FileMate never replaces an existing file: if photo.jpg already exists, the new one is called photo converted.jpg.
Get FileMate
Right-click the image, pick the format, done. FileMate converts on your Mac and keeps the original as it was.
