So you wanna use some photos you “shot on iPhone” but your app doesn't support .HEIC?

jpg

fast, lossy, smaller files

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname '*.heic' -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} sh -c 'sips -s format jpeg "$1" --out "${1%.*}.jpg"' sh "{}"

png

slow, lossless, larger files

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname '*.heic' -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} sh -c 'sips -s format png "$1" --out "${1%.*}.png"' sh "{}"
