Convert WhatsApp Chat Export to PDF — Free Tool
Overview
WhatsApp's built-in Export Chat feature produces a .txt file — useful for backup but hard to share, print, or archive professionally. Converting this to PDF makes it readable on any device, shareable via email, and presentable for legal or evidentiary purposes. PDF Mavericks converts text files and documents to PDF directly in your browser, keeping message content private.
How to Use This Tool
On WhatsApp, open a chat, tap the three-dot menu, select More, then Export Chat, then Without Media. You will get a .txt file. Open a word processor such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word, paste or open the .txt file, then use File, Print, Save as PDF — or upload the file directly to PDF Mavericks' Convert tool. The resulting PDF preserves timestamps, sender names, and message content.

Can I convert a WhatsApp chat to PDF directly from my phone?
Yes. Export the chat on your phone (WhatsApp, open the chat, three-dot menu, More, Export Chat, Without Media). Open the .txt file in Google Docs on your phone, then use Share, Print, Save as PDF.
Are WhatsApp chats admissible as evidence in PDF format?
This depends on the jurisdiction and legal context. A PDF of a chat export can be used as supporting evidence in many civil and family law matters, but consult a lawyer for specific evidentiary requirements in your case.
Does the PDF include media attachments?
WhatsApp chat exports without media will not include photos or videos — only text messages. To include media in your archive, export with media and reference the attachment files alongside the PDF.
