Convert HEIC to JPG for Android Phones
Overview
Android phones do not support HEIC natively. When someone sends you HEIC files from an iPhone, they appear as unsupported or show no preview in Android gallery apps. Convert them to JPG in your mobile browser and save the compatible files to your Android photo library.
How to Use This Tool
Open the converter in Chrome or Firefox on Android. Tap to upload your HEIC file from Files or Google Drive. The browser converts it and downloads a JPG that opens in any Android gallery or messaging app.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG directly on my Android phone?
Yes. The browser-based converter works on Android Chrome and Firefox. No app installation required. The converted JPG downloads to your device's Downloads folder.
Why do HEIC photos look broken in WhatsApp on Android?
WhatsApp on Android can send HEIC files but previews them as a generic icon because Android's gallery engine does not decode HEIC. Convert to JPG before sharing for proper previews.
Is there an Android app that opens HEIC?
A few third-party gallery apps like Solid Explorer and Simple Gallery Pro added HEIC support via their own decoders. However, converting to JPG is the most reliable way to ensure compatibility across all Android apps.
