HEIC is definitely a more efficient format for photos (and this is how the iPhone stores them now), but not all systems support it. I've found the quickest and easiest way to convert HEIC to JPEG on Mac is to create a droplet app using Automator.
- Open Automator
- Create a new Application
- Search for "change type"
- Drag the item for change type of images over to the workflow section on the right
(if there is more than one, drag the one with the Preview icon over) - Save
- Name it whatever you want like HEIC to JPEG
You might want to drag it into your Dock for easy access. Now just drag any number of HEIC images over onto the icon and they will be converted to JPEG.
