Hazel rule to convert heic or webp Wed Aug 20, 2025 11:03 am • by IYKYK
I'm trying to write a rule that will convert either heic or webp image files to jpeg via a shortcut (which I have) and then move any such ensuing image to a folder of my choice.
I'm fairly new to Hazel and have got a few basic rules all working well but this has stumped me!

Hazel has a Shortcut action. What kind of problem are you running into?

Here's a screenshot of my attempt...

It doesn't appear to do anything.

I have removed the heic option and it now works. Does it need a seperate rule for each file type?

You have your conditions set to "all", which means the file has to match both extensions, which is impossible. Try changing that to "any".
