iPad camera cannot take Jpegs

My iPad is running IOS 14.6. There is no option in settings-> camera to change the file format to Jpeg. My iPhone has an option to change format to “most Compatible” which seems to be Jpeg. I need the photos to be in Jpeg format when I transfer to my PC. I know I can convert the files from HEIC to Jpeg but it seems unnecessary work. Is there any way to get my iPad to take Jpegs? All references on the internet just say change the format in settings, but this option is not available.
