Files with the .CRYPT12 extension contain an encrypted database of the WhatsApp messenger application, using a 256-bit AES algorithm. These are securely encrypted and compressed messages that have been sent and received using this software.
.CRYPT8 files are used by the WhatsApp application to store an encrypted database of archival chats and messages. These files are most commonly stored on an SD card of a smartphone or tablet running the Android operating system, which hosts the WhatsApp messenger. The .
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CRYPT12 file after converting to CRYPT8 may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CRYPT12 to CRYPT8 to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CRYPT12 to CRYPT8 does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CRYPT12 format, properly converted to a CRYPT8 file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CRYPT12 the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CRYPT12 file to other than CRYPT8. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CRYPT12 file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to CRYPT8 on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CRYPT12 file in its original format (without conversion to CRYPT8 file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
