how to change icloud default image type to jpeg not heic?
How can I download my images from iCloud as jpeg or png files? Current default is HEIC. If I can change this at the default level, I would like that, versus changing one by one.

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you're looking for options for downloading photos in different formats on your Mac. We have a resource and a few steps that may help. Check those out below.

"On your Mac or PC
- On iCloud.com, click Photos and select a photo or video. Hold the command key on your Mac or control key on your PC to select multiple photos or videos.
- Click and hold the download button
in the upper corner of the window. If you want to download your photo or video as it was originally captured or imported, choose Unmodified Original. For JPEG or H.264 format — including edits, and even if it was originally in HEIF or HEVC format — choose Most Compatible.* - Click Download.
If your photos download as a ZIP archive, learn how to uncompress the folder on your Mac or your PC. "
We hope this helps.
