HEIC pictures

My iphone pics are HEIC files.  Your editor will not support those.  Is there some quick/easy way to convert them.  I'm tired of this

You can convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG format on your iPhone by using the Files app or by creating a Shortcuts app automation. The Files app method involves copying the HEIC photo from the Photos app and pasting it into a folder in the Files app, which automatically converts it to JPG. Alternatively, using the Shortcuts app allows for bulk conversion with a custom shortcut that saves the new JPG files to a chosen album.  
Using the Files App (Manual Conversion)
  1. Open the Photos app: and select the HEIC photo you want to convert. 
  2. Tap the share icon: (the square with an arrow pointing up) and select "Copy Photo". 
  3. Open the Files app: and navigate to "On My iPhone" or create a new folder. 
  4. Long-press: on an empty space within the folder and select "Paste". 
  5. The photo will be pasted and automatically converted to JPG format.
