Editing Preview (macOS) (section)

===Import and export===
Preview can directly access image scanners supported by macOS and import images from the scanner. Preview can convert between [[image format]]s; it can export to BMP, JP2, JPEG, PDF, PICT, PNG, SGI, TGA, and TIFF. Using macOS's print engine (based on [[CUPS]]) it is also possible to "print into" a Postscript file, a PDF-X file or directly save the file in [[iPhoto]], for example scanned photos.

Beginning with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Preview restricts the Format option popup menu in the Save As dialog to commonly used types.  It is possible to access the full format list by holding down the Option key when clicking the Format popup menu.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-01-24|title=Convert Images in Mac OS X: JPG to GIF, PSD to JPG, GIF to JPG, BMP to JPG, PNG to PDF, and more|url=http://osxdaily.com/2010/01/24/convert-images-in-mac-os-x-jpg-to-gif-psd-to-jpg-gif-to-jpg-bmp-to-jpg-png-to-pdf-and-more/|access-date=2017-01-08|website=OS X Daily}}</ref> (GIF, ICNS, JPEG, JPEG-2000, Microsoft BMP, Microsoft Icon, OpenEXR, PDF, Photoshop, PNG, SGI, TGA, TIFF.)
