Here's how to convert HEIC to JPG on Mac using Preview

Family Cookbook Project (and most web sites) accept JPG photos only.  If you are having issues with photos not uploading correctly, check to see if the file format on your Mac is HEIC.  That is Apple's compressed format.  But it's easy to convert to JPG.

  1. Open any HEIC image in Preview.
  2. Click File ➙ Export in the menu bar.
  3. Select JPG in the format dropdown and adjust other settings as needed.
  4. Choose Save.
