1. Start with your original photos
Transfer the original HEIC files to your computer. Keep a copy of those originals: every lossy export can change the image, and a new file format cannot restore detail that has already been removed.
2. Choose JPG in Dropshift
Open the extension side panel, select your HEIC photos and choose JPG as the output. You can add multiple supported images to the same file workflow. Conversion happens locally in the extension.
3. Check the result, then share
Run the conversion, download the JPG files, and open one or two to check orientation and appearance. If there are multiple outputs, save them together as a ZIP. Smaller batches are useful if your computer is low on memory.
4. When PNG or WebP makes more sense
JPG is a broadly compatible choice for photographs. PNG is useful for transparency and certain graphics. WebP can be useful for web assets when the app or site receiving the file supports it. Choose based on the destination rather than assuming one format is always better.
