Convert An HEIC Image File To JPG

I took a photo with my iPhone and then airdropped it to my Mac. This opened it up in Preview. From there I could see that the extension on the file was HEIC. I'm not familiar with that filetype and what I want is a JPG.

The Preview app (which is already open in this scenario) can handle this conversion.

Go to File > Export...

Change the format from HEIC to JPEG.

Feel free to update the name and save location at this point as well.

Then hit Save and Preview will perform the conversion.
