Any file in File Explorer or on the desktop. Like you always do.
Drag a file, hold Shift.
Done like magic.
Convert, shrink, sign, OCR and share any file, faster than you can find that one ad-stuffed converter website again.

A glass wheel appears with only what fits that file. Keys 1–8 if you're in a hurry.
Drop. Done.
The result lands right next to the original. Changed your mind? Undo.
Everything you need,
plus a little chaos
Converts basically anything
iPhone HEIC, camera RAW, WebP, AVIF, video, audio, PDF, Word, JSON, YAML… pick a target, done.
Videos that fit 8 MB
Discord, Zalo and email stop complaining.
Catches files that lie
“invoice.pdf.exe” is a program, not a PDF. The wheel turns red.
Sign PDFs
Draw or type, place it, done. No printer involved.
Copy text from pictures
Screenshots, scans, Vietnamese too. Offline.
Straight to your phone
Scan a QR on the same Wi-Fi. The link self-destructs in 10 minutes.
Gets used to you
What you use climbs onto the wheel. Recipes, watched folders, a shelf, Ctrl+Space quick look, undo.
Background removal, subtitles
AI that runs on your PC. Nothing leaves it.

FAQ (not very serious)
Is ShiftDrop free?
Yes, 100% free and open source (MIT). There is no secret Pro version.
Do my files get uploaded?
No. Everything runs on your PC. Only actions that say so, like “To phone” or “Translate”, use the network, and only when you pick them.
Why does Windows warn me?
It is a new app without a paid code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen hasn't met it yet. Choose More info → Run anyway. The source is public on GitHub.
Video and audio don't work?
They need the free FFmpeg add-on: Settings › Add-ons › Download. One time.
Is there a Mac version?
Planned. For now it is Windows 10 and 11.
Where is the app after installing?
It lives quietly in the system tray (the ⇄ icon by the clock). No window to keep open; just drag a file and hold Shift.
Your files are waiting
8 MB, a minute to install, no signup, no drama.
Download for WindowsEnjoying this?
Leave a star on GitHub so I stay motivated to build weirder stuff. Totally optional.
