ConvobookStep by step
On Android: open the chat, tap ⋮ → More → Export chat → Include media, and save the .zip. On iPhone: open the chat, tap the chat name → Export chat → Attach media → Save to Files. Then open the .zip in Convobook, on the phone or on a computer.
What you get
Photos and stickers appear inside the bubbles, voice notes and videos play in the viewer and can be embedded in the HTML archive, and documents keep their names. If the export was made without media, Convobook shows where each file was.
Good to know
WhatsApp may limit how many messages and how much media go into one export, depending on the phone and the app version. If a long chat is cut, you can export it more than once and merge the files in Convobook.
How it works
- Export the chat from WhatsApp on your phone, with or without media.
- Open the .zip or .txt file in Convobook. Nothing is uploaded.
- Read and search it, then save it as PDF, HTML, Excel or CSV.

What you get
Stays on your device
There is no server behind the converter, and the page's security policy blocks every network connection. You can even turn off Wi-Fi after it opens.
Android and iPhone
Reads exports from both, in many languages and date formats, including multi-line messages and group events.
Chat-bubble PDF
Names, dates, photos and stickers in the conversation, a cover page and page numbers.
HTML archive
One file that opens in any browser, with the photos inside and a search box.
Excel and CSV
One row per message with real dates and times, plus statistics per person.
Merge, search, filter
Join several exports without duplicates, search words, and pick a person or a date range.
Questions
Do I need to unzip the file first?
No. Open the .zip directly; Convobook unpacks it inside your browser.
Why are some files missing?
WhatsApp leaves out media that was deleted from the phone or never downloaded. Convobook marks those messages so you can see what is missing.
Are my messages uploaded?
No. Convobook runs in your browser. The converter page is not allowed to send data anywhere, and it keeps working offline.
What does it cost?
Reading the whole chat and exporting the first 100 messages is free. A 30-day pass costs $9 and a lifetime key costs $19, paid once.
Which chats can I convert?
Chats you exported yourself from your own WhatsApp. Please respect the privacy of the other people in the conversation.
