Can’t import Images from whatsapp

Save them as jpeg and they will open 🔓 

Since 2018 they are telling we wroking on it to fixed the problem. And, now it's almost mid of 2022, still they are working on it. so funny

Until now, all adobe software not support any image from whatsapp web (jpeg).

I don't know why.

All adobe software.

The solution is just reconvert that jpeg image using any image converter.

I have created an open source tool for Windows and MacOS, to fix broken jpeg files. You can check and download it here: https://github.com/cdefgah/whatsapp-jpeg-repair

I'm having the issue today, images taken on iPhone using Whatsapp won't open in Photoshop 2021. If I open the image in preview & export as .png file, then I can open with photoshop, & edit like normal & then save as .jpg

Did you find the correct answer ?

Hello
I use Lightroom 6.14 with perpetual license and I have the same problem.
The problem is that WhatsApp saves images in .jpeg format and Lightroom only accepts images in .jpg format.
The only way I have managed to solve the problem is the following:
1.- Open Adobe Bridge and look for the folder where the WhatsApp images are.
2.- Select all the images with the keys Ctrl + A
3.- Open the images in Camera Raw, with the keys Ctrl + R
4.- Select again all the images with Ctrl + A
5.- Save all the images with the Ctrl + S option
Here you have to configure the saving options:
Destination: Save in the same location
Extension: .jpg
Format: JPEG
Quality: 10. Maximum
6.- Click on Accept or on the Save button.
New images, converted with Adobe Bridge, can now be imported into Lightroom without any hassle.

With this method, hundreds of images can be saved at one time.

Operation performed with Adobe Bridge CS5.

Hola
Yo uso Lightroom 6.14 con licencia perpetua y tengo el mismo problema.

El problema es que Whatsapp guarda las imagenes en formato .jpeg y Lightroom solo acepta imagenes en formato .jpg.

La única forma como yo he conseguido resolver el problema, es la siguiente:

1.- Abrir Adobe Bridge y buscar la carpeta donde están las imagenes de WhatsApp.
2.- Seleccionar todas las imagenes con las teclas Ctrl+A
3.- Abrir las imagenes en Camera Raw, con las teclas Ctrl+R
4.- Seleccionar nuevamente todas las imagenes con Ctrl+A
5.- Guardar todas las imágenes con la opción Ctrl+S
Aquí hay que configurar las opciones de guardado:
Destino: Guardar en la misma ubicacion
Extensión: .jpg
Formato: JPEG
Calidad: 10. Máxima
6.- Pulsar en Aceptar o en el botón Guardar.

Las nuevas imágenes, convertidas con Adobe Bridge, ya se pueden importar a Lightroom sin problemas.

Con este método se pueden guardar cientos de imágenes en una sola vez.

You have to go to your phone and switch to performance mode , after that to go to your documents ( where you can find everything ) , now the pc recognise the photos and u can do whatever u want. GL

It's really easy to fix the problem.   All you have to do is use a online image converter.   https://jpg2png.com/    turn them into png and problem solved.    Your Welcome Adobe!

What I do most most time when i need to get the job delivered fast is to open the images on my screen, snapshot, then save as tiff or jpg and it works
