What is it?
WhatsApp Chat to PDF turns an exported chat into a clean, printable document, with photos, for records, evidence, memories or sharing with a lawyer or office.
Who is it for?
Anyone who needs a chat on paper or as one file: for a complaint to a company or the police, a dispute with a landlord or buyer, office records, insurance claims, or keeping a family group’s memories with photos.
How to export a chat from WhatsApp
- Android: open the chat → tap ⋮ (top right) → More → Export chat → choose Without media (a .txt file) or Include media (a .zip with photos). Save it to Files or Drive.
- iPhone: open the chat → tap the contact or group name at the top → scroll down → Export Chat → Without Media or Attach Media → Save to Files.
- WhatsApp exports at most about the latest 40,000 messages without media (10,000 with media). Older messages are not in the file.
Make the PDF
- Export the chat with Include media if you want photos, and open the .zip in the tool.
- Choose Which one is you? so your messages sit on the right.
- Tap Print or save as PDF. In the print window, choose Save as PDF as the printer (on Android: Select a printer → Save as PDF).
- Or tap Download as HTML for one web page that opens in any browser.
Problems and fixes
- No photos in the PDF: photos are included only when you open the .zip export made with media.
- The PDF is huge: chats with hundreds of photos make large files. Export without media, or print only the date range you need from the print window’s page settings.
- Text is cut at the page edge: in the print window, set margins to Default and scale to Fit to page width.
- Voice notes and videos can’t go inside a PDF. They are listed by file name in the chat.
Is a chat PDF valid as evidence?
Courts and offices have their own rules. A PDF made from an export is a copy, so keep the original phone and the export file too, and ask your lawyer what form they need.
