I have heard you should convert all your photos from .heic to jpg (jep) so they are compatible with others. How do you do this. I always update Mac to latest software version. Also, when you import a jep from email it is converted to .heic This is not helpful.

I have heard you should convert all your photos from .heic to jpg (jep) so they are compatible with others.
I'd convert individual .heic to .jpg only if some site insists accepting only .jpg.
You can set your iPhone to shoot only .jpg if that is a repeating issue for you. Or convert old shots via Photos > File > Export as .jpg (.jpeg).
The HE in HEIC is "High Efficiency." These files are compressed more cleverly than jpg, so they take up less space for the same quality. More and more systems are using it, but the acceptance in older systems may be limited. But for you HEIC is a great format. As Matti Haveri says, only convert for formats when you need to send pictures to people with systems that don't keep up.
