How to Change PNG to JPG on Mac

Converting images from one file format to another can be a tedious task, especially when dealing with multiple files. However, using the Mac Automator, you can easily batch convert your image files from one format to another, including converting PNG to JPG.

To start, open the Mac Automator application by clicking the Applications icon in the Dock and then selecting the Automator icon, which looks like a robot. Once opened, click the Workflow icon, and you will be presented with an Automator window.

In this window, select the Change Type of Images action and drag it to the gray area on the right side of the window, beneath the list of files you want to convert. This is where the magic happens! The Change Type of Images action filters out all the possible Automator actions, making it easy for you to find the correct one.

Next, click the search box on the left side of the window and type in the phrase 'convert.' You will then be able to find the Mac Automator 'Change Type of Images' action. In this case, I have added a batch of JPG files and want to convert them to PNG files.

After selecting the correct action, you can specify the new file format by clicking on the 'Format' dropdown menu and selecting 'PNG.' You can also specify the output folder by clicking on the 'Save as' dropdown menu and selecting the desired location.

Once you have specified the new file format and output folder, click the 'Run' button to start the conversion process. The Automator will then convert your image files from one format to another, saving them in the specified output folder.

Remember to always make a backup copy of your original images before converting them, as things can sometimes go wrong. With the Mac Automator, you can easily batch convert your image files and enjoy the flexibility of working with different file formats on your Mac.
