Notchy

Micro-App Feature

Convert HEIC to JPG from the notch

Drop any image on Notchy's notch shelf, pick a format, and drag the converted file out. PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF and PDF — all offline, all free, no clunky online uploader.

Right where your files already are

Notchy's drop shelf lives in the notch. Drag a photo up, hit convert, drag the result wherever it needs to go. No separate app to launch, no Finder round-trip, no upload-and-wait.

HEIC from your iPhone, sorted

AirDrop a photo from your iPhone and it lands as HEIC, which half the web won't accept. One tap turns it into a universal JPG or PNG you can attach, upload or print anywhere.

Private by design

Free online converters make you upload your photos to a stranger's server. Notchy converts locally with Apple's ImageIO — your images never leave your Mac.

Image to PDF in one click

Need a receipt or screenshot as a PDF to send off? Pick PDF as the output format and Notchy wraps the image into a clean, single-page document instantly.

Mac Image Converter — FAQ

How do I convert HEIC to JPG on a Mac for free?

Drop the HEIC photo onto Notchy's notch shelf, tap the convert button, and pick JPG. Notchy writes a converted copy you can drag straight into any app or folder — no online uploader, no watermark, no fee.

Which image formats does Notchy convert between?

Notchy converts between PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF and PDF. So you can turn iPhone HEIC photos into JPG, flatten a screenshot to PDF, or swap PNG to JPEG to shrink a file — all in a couple of clicks.

Does the conversion happen offline?

Yes. Conversion runs entirely on your Mac using Apple's native ImageIO. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your photos never leave the machine — ideal for private or work images.

Does it lose quality?

Notchy uses macOS's built-in image pipeline, so PNG, TIFF and PDF stay lossless. JPEG and HEIC use high-quality encoding, the same engine Preview and Photos rely on.
