Send HEIC Photos on WhatsApp — Convert to JPG

WhatsApp Desktop on Windows and web.whatsapp.com cannot attach HEIC files from an iPhone backup or cloud download. The file picker either rejects the format or the recipient sees an error. Converting to JPG before attaching solves this instantly.

On mobile, WhatsApp often converts photos automatically when you share from the iPhone Camera Roll. But when you download HEIC files to a computer and try to attach them in WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop, the desktop app does not perform the conversion for you.

Convert your HEIC photos to JPG here, then attach the JPG in WhatsApp Desktop or WhatsApp Web. The entire process takes under a minute, and your recipient receives a standard JPG that displays on any device.
