How do I convert AAE files to JPEG?

Answer 1

To convert AAE (Apple’s sidecar format for photos) files to JPEG, follow these steps:

1. Open the Photos app on your Mac or iOS device.

2. Locate the photo for which you have the AAE file and the corresponding original photo (usually in JPEG format).

3. Select both the AAE file and the original photo.

4. In the Photos app on your Mac, go to “File” > “Export” > “Export [number] Photo(s).” On an iOS device, tap the Share icon and choose “Export [number] Photos.”

5. Choose the export settings, including the file format. Select JPEG.

6. Choose the destination folder for the converted JPEG file, and click “Export” on a Mac or “Save [number] Photos” on an iOS device.

This process will export the photo in JPEG format, combining the changes from the AAE file with the original photo data. Make sure you keep both the AAE file and the original photo in the same folder for this to work correctly.
