I have an iPhone 13 and wish to convert an HEIC to JPG. Instructions say to open the image in Preview. How do I do that?

Preview is an App on a Mac. It's not on a phone. For conversion on a phone:


  1. Open Picture in the Photo app
  2. Tap Share
  3. Tap Copy Photo
  4. Open the Files app in any folder
  5. Tap on empty space and select "Paste"


The pasted file will be in jpeg.
