Print Chat is a browser-based tool that converts WhatsApp chat exports into professional PDFs entirely on your device, with no uploads to any server — ideal for legal admissibility, privacy compliance, and preserving personal conversations.
What is Print Chat?
Print Chat is a 100% local PDF converter for WhatsApp chats. It takes an exported chat file (with or without media) from WhatsApp and produces a text-based, searchable PDF with two layout options: bubble mode (preserving the original chat appearance) or transcript mode (court-ready formatting with Bates stamping and timestamps). The tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, so your data never leaves your device.
Key Features
- 100% client-side processing — Your files are never uploaded; processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly, making it GDPR compliant by default.
- Unlimited file size — No caps on message count or file size (from 100 MB to 50 GB), handling 10+ year chat histories without freezing or crashing.
- Legal-ready output — Transcript mode includes Bates stamping, exact timestamps, sender names, and page numbers formatted for court admissibility and legal discovery.
- Redaction tools — Anonymize names and sensitive data directly in the PDF before saving.
- Voice and video embeds — Voice notes and videos are preserved as clickable links inside the PDF that play in the device’s media player.
- Dual layout modes — Choose between visual bubble mode (WhatsApp-style with embedded photos) or standard transcript mode (clean, numbered, evidence-ready).
- Searchable and printable — Output is a standard text-based PDF, not an image, so you can search for dates or keywords and print cleanly to A4/Letter.
- Global character support — Renders emoji, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Greek, and other scripts correctly.
Who is it for?
- Family law attorneys who need to submit WhatsApp messages as court evidence with clear timestamps, Bates stamping, and no exposure of client data to third-party servers.
- Personal users preserving memories from long conversations (e.g., a parent’s chat history) who want a beautiful, permanent PDF that stays on their own device.
- HR professionals documenting workplace harassment or group-chat disputes across multiple participants, with redaction tools to protect identities and transcript layout for official records.
What can you do with Print Chat?
- Preserve family memories: Export years of WhatsApp chats with photos, voice notes, and videos embedded as clickable links in a bubble‑style PDF that you can print or keep forever.
- Prepare legal evidence: Use transcript mode with Bates stamping, timestamps, and redaction to create court‑admissible documents from WhatsApp exports — without uploading sensitive conversations anywhere.
- Document group‑chat investigations: Generate a clean, paginated PDF of a 12‑participant chat for HR or compliance reviews, referencing specific messages by page number in the output.
How does it work?
First, export your WhatsApp chat (with or without media) from WhatsApp’s built-in “Export Chat” option. Then open Print Chat in your browser, select the exported file (a .txt or .zip), choose between bubble or transcript layout, and convert. The entire process runs locally — your file is never sent to a server. You download the finished PDF directly.
