As soon as you create a Quick Action—using either method—it’s automatically added to the Quick Actions menu on your Mac, ready to use.

Head over to Finder or the desktop—wherever you have the files you want to work with stored. Select the file on which you want to use a Quick Action; you can choose multiple files, too. Now, right-click (Control-click) on your selection, select “Quick Actions,” and click the Quick Action you want to use.

Alternatively, you can click on the Quick Action you want to use in the Preview pane. You need to enable the Preview pane for this to work. Open Finder and go to View > Show Preview, or press the Command+Shift+P shortcut.

Similarly, if your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can execute Quick Actions from it as well. However, you’ll need to configure it first from the Touch Bar settings.

Depending on what Quick Action you just used, it may work in the background, apply changes to the selected files, and save them automatically. Or it may ask for your input. The Convert Image Quick Action is a great example of this. When you run it, you’ll see prompts on your screen asking you to select the desired output format, among other things. Make the appropriate selections, and the Quick Action will complete the operation and save the file.

Unless you’ve opted to preserve the original file while creating a workflow (in Automator or Shortcuts), the Quick Action will overwrite the original file and save it in the same location.
