My search at Install package openSUSE:Factory / libheif tells me to install using
Box2:/home/ion # zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:Factory/standard/openSUSE:Factory.repo
File ‘/repositories/openSUSE:Factory/standard/openSUSE:Factory.repo’ not found on medium ‘https://download.opensuse.org/’
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/…? shows all options] (a):
Which fails. What might be my next step?

Now how do I execute the command to convert?
Everything that is present in this repository is also available in Tumbleweed.
As should be clear from its name, this package is a library. There are no commands in this package. You need to use one of programs built with this library. Like darktable, gimp, krita.
I did install gimp and it did convert it to .jpg, but I thought there might be a command line utility to convert a number of images.
ImageMagick?
Thank you. I will try it.
Nicely explained here:
https://linuxnightly.com/convert-heif-images-to-jpg-or-png-on-linux/
heif-convert is not built on openSUSE.
-DWITH_EXAMPLES=OFF
@arvidjaar correct, only with the Packman version… there is also the gimp plugin on Packman.
But then one needs to install heif-examples, not libheif1 (which will be pulled in as dependency).
