WhatsApp Chat to PDF

Export your chat (“Export chat” → “Without media”), then drop the .txt file here. Type your name exactly as it appears in the export into the “My name” field and click “Update preview” — your messages jump to the right side in green bubbles, just like the app. Filter by date range to keep only the months you want, choose whether to keep “<Media omitted>” placeholders, then click “Print / Save as PDF” and pick “Save as PDF” as the destination. The page is formatted so only the chat book prints — no buttons, no clutter.

The renderer parses iPhone, Android, and US 12-hour formats, groups messages by day with date headers, and lays them out as chat bubbles in a print stylesheet tuned for US Letter and A4. Long chats paginate naturally; day headers keep you oriented as the pages turn. Everything renders in your browser — the PDF is produced by your own print dialog, so the file never touches a server.

A couple wants a keepsake of their first year of dating: 8,214 messages from January to December. They export without media, set the date filter to the full year, type both names for correct bubble alignment, and save as PDF. The result is a 96-page book — about 85 messages per page — with day headers, timestamps, and emoji intact. Printed double-sided at a local print shop, it becomes a birthday gift for under $15.

“Without media” exports cannot include the actual photos — you get “<Media omitted>” placeholders (export “With media” and insert photos manually if you want them in). Very long chats produce very long PDFs; filter by date to keep the book manageable. Custom fonts and colors are not adjustable — the book uses a clean, readable default designed for print. And message edits or deletions made after export will not appear; export fresh for the final version.
