How to export a WhatsApp chat to PDF.
From WhatsApp to a finished PDF in under a minute. No account, no upload and no computer.
Open the chat
In WhatsApp, open the chat and tap the three dots, then More, then Export chat.
Include the photos
Choose Include media, so the photos come too. Or skip them for a lighter PDF.
Pick Onpaper
Choose Onpaper from the list. The chat opens in seconds, laid out like WhatsApp.
Make the PDF
Choose the whole chat or just some dates, then save the PDF or share it.
A PDF that reads like the chat.
Onpaper sets out every message the way you’d see it in WhatsApp, on clean A4 pages that print well and read easily on any screen.
Dated and in order
Every message with its date and time, in the order it was sent.
Your side on the right
Your messages on the right and everyone else’s on the left, with names in group chats.
Photos in place
Photos and stickers printed where they were sent, even in chats with thousands of them.
Numbered pages
Each page carries the chat’s name, its dates and a page number.
Nothing hidden
Deleted and edited messages are marked, and anything left out of the export is listed.
Just the dates you need
The whole chat, or only the days that matter.
Every language
Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, emoji and more, right to left included.
Long chats welcome
We’ve made single PDFs from chats with over 9,000 messages and 1,000 photos.
Works with chats exported from WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, on Android or iPhone. Onpaper isn’t affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
For when the chat matters.
A tidy record you can print, file or send, whenever someone needs to see what was said and when.
Work and HR
Keep a clear copy of messages with a manager or colleague, before they’re lost.
Solicitors and claims
Hand over a chat in a form that’s easy to read, print and page through.
Keepsakes
Print years of messages with someone special, photos and all.
A faithful record
Onpaper doesn’t rewrite anything. Messages appear in the order and wording of WhatsApp’s own export, with every date and time. Deleted and edited messages are marked, and photos that weren’t in the export are listed by name. It isn’t a legal certification, so check what your case needs.
Your chats never leave your phone.
Onpaper does all its work on the device. We never see your chats, and neither does anyone else.
Read the Onpaper privacy policyMade on your phone
The chat is read and the PDF is made on the device, so your messages and photos are never uploaded. It works offline too.
Only the chat you share
Onpaper sees the one export you share or pick, never the rest of WhatsApp. It never asks for access to your files, photos or contacts.
Nothing kept
A chat’s photos sit in the app’s private storage, and the next chat you open replaces them. Android clears that storage when it needs the space.
No account, no ads
There’s nothing to sign up for, and the app has no advertising, analytics or tracking.
Free, with a one-off upgrade.
Every feature is free, so you can see exactly what you’ll get. When you need a clean copy, remove the watermark once and it’s gone for good.

How do I export a WhatsApp chat to PDF?
In WhatsApp, open the chat, tap the three dots, then More, then Export chat, and choose Include media. Pick Onpaper from the list, then tap Make PDF. Save the PDF to your phone or share it.
Is Onpaper free?
Yes, every feature is free. Free PDFs carry a “Free version” watermark on every page, and a one-off £4.99 purchase removes it for good and adds a cover page. There are no ads and no subscription.
Does Onpaper upload my chats?
No. Onpaper reads your chat and makes the PDF on your phone, and it works offline. Your messages, photos and the names in them are never sent to us or anyone else. The Onpaper privacy policy has the details.
Are the photos included?
Yes, when you export the chat with Include media. Photos and stickers are printed where they were sent. Videos, voice messages and documents are listed by name.
Can I use the PDF as evidence?
Onpaper lays out exactly what is in WhatsApp’s export, with every date and time, and marks deleted and edited messages. People use PDFs like these for solicitors, landlords, employers and insurers. It isn’t a legal certification, so check what your case needs.
Why can’t I see Export chat in WhatsApp?
If anyone in the chat has turned on Advanced chat privacy, WhatsApp hides Export chat for everyone in it. It can be turned off in the chat’s settings. In a group, the admins may have locked that setting.
Can it open chats exported from an iPhone?
Yes. Onpaper is an Android app, and it reads exports from both Android and iPhone. Move the iPhone export to your Android phone and open it in Onpaper.
Does it work with other languages?
Yes. It reads chats in any language, including Arabic and Hebrew written right to left, and emoji. It understands the dates from phones set to any region.
How long can a chat be?
As long as you like. We’ve made single PDFs from chats with over 9,000 messages and more than 1,000 photos. Long chats print in parts, with the progress shown as it goes.
Every WhatsApp chat, as a tidy PDF.
Onpaper is coming soon to Google Play. It’s free to try, with no ads and no account, and your chats never leave your phone.
