On the file menu, there's an option 'Export to PNG' (or words to that effect). Inkscape will only export in PNG format, though there may be an extension that allows you to export in JPG, but it's not part of the program's native functionality. Mostly, I export to PNG and if the file size is too large, I open the PNG in Gimp and export as JPG from there.
