User is frustrated that Image Capture does not convert HEIF photos to JPEG when importing from iPhone, despite settings changes. They want a feature that automatically converts these formats during the import process.
I have a Macbook Air 4 running Tahoe 26.3. I have both an iPhone 14pro and iPhone 17 Pro. Recently have been trying to download photos and videos via Image Capture. I have my iPhones set to High Efficiency so it saves the photos and videos as HEIF and HECV and set it to Automatic when Transfer to Mac. When I use Image Capture, it still shows the photos and videos as HEIF and MOV (HECV) rather than JPEG and MOV. I have tried changing on my phone from Automatic to Keep Originals and back to Automatic. On Image Capture, I have deselected Keep Originals. However the photos and video format stays as HEIF and MOV (HECV) and never changes. I dont have this problem with Image Capture on my iMac running Monterey. Anyone else with the same problem and solution.
