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, 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.
Need a smaller file for an upload limit? Compress images on Mac to a target file size with the shelf's separate Compress to action.
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?
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.
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.
