Convert HEIC format to JPG

Is there an easy way to convert Apple's disastrous HEIC format to JPG? I have to submit photos to a government agency and none of them accept the HEIC file format.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

HEIC is more efficient, saves a lot of space.


But you can disable HEIC entirely, if you don't want to use it: From HEIC to JPEG - Apple Community



You can convert on iOS, too:

  1. Open Picture in Photos-App
  2. Tap Share
  3. Tap Copy Photo
  4. Open Files-App in any writable folder
  5. Tap on empty space and select "Paste"

The inserted file will be in jpeg format automatically.
