WALTR HEIC Converter is a Photography and Images app for Mac.

About

WALTR HEIC Converter is a macOS app for turning HEIC photos into JPEG or PNG images. You can drop files into its window and convert individual photos or batches. The developer describes conversion as offline, so images are processed on your computer rather than uploaded to an online converter.

  • Convert HEIC images to JPEG or PNG.
  • Add files by dragging and dropping them into the app.
  • Convert one photo or a batch of photos.
  • The developer states that EXIF details are retained after conversion.

Install with brew install --cask waltr-heic-converter. The cask installs the app in /Applications. Its installation notes require Rosetta, so Rosetta is needed to run this cask’s app on a Mac that requires it. The supplied cask is the macOS app variant; the developer’s website also mentions other platform offerings, which are not included here.
