How do I bulk download from icloud.com in "most compatible" format?

On icloud.com if I click the three dots at upper right on a single photo I can choose More Download Options > Most Compatible. Then I get a jpg file. I don't see a way to do this in bulk. It appears as though you can select multiple photos then click the three dot menu at the upper right corner of the screen and go through the same process, but that doesn't work. What I actually get are the RAW dng files. (Yes, I realize that I can stop shooting in RAW to solve this problem going forward, but for the pictures I already shot I'm looking for a solution.)

Hey there justpeachy,

We'd like to help by first providing the article that shows how to download photos from the iCloud website, along with showing that you are in fact able to select multiple photos on your Mac under the section 'On your Mac or PC' near the top: Download iCloud photos and videos

If you're still having issues even after following the applicable steps near the bottom under the section 'If you need help downloading your photos or videos', then the next step would be to let Apple Support know exactly what's been tried. They'll be in the best position to assist further: Get Support

Cheers!
