Moving iCloud photos to NewQ external hard drive

I was able to transfer photos and videos to the NewQ hard drive but when I tried to view them through the app, it said unsupported file format. Is there a file that I can download that will translate these photos from HEIC to JPEG?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

Importing Photos Lately, I am unable to import photos and videos to the Photos Program on an external drive. It says it's an unsupported file. I can import these photos to the program on my internal hard drive on my MacBook. I am not using iCloud. I like to offload my photos and videos to an external drive. Is this because Apple only wants me to use iCloud? I need to solve this problem.

Transfer Photos to external drive I do not use iCloud. I copy my photos and videos to a Photos library on an external drive. Suddenly, the Photos library on the external drive won't import photos or allow me to drag and drop. I get an error message that says the library cannot recognize the file formats or they may be corrupted. I have tried repairing the library, but that has not worked. Is Apple trying to force me to use iCloud? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution?
