Batch Convert Images in OS X

IOGraphica 5 hour mouse trackThis post is more for my benefit than others, but you may in the end find it useful anyway. I’ve recently come across a handy batch conversion technique for switching image formats in a snap;1. Put a load of images in a folder2. Open the Terminal3. cd to the current directory4. type in

mkdir jpgs; sips -s format jpeg *.* –out jpgs

done.I found this one whilst looking for a quick and easy way to switch a folder of .pngs to .jpgs, without needing to download/purchase any additional software – and programming something quickly in Automator seemed like more work than was necessary!If you’re looking for other solutions to this problem, this page had a few other alternatives.Happy converting!
