Open the conversation, use WhatsApp’s Export Chat option, decide whether to include media, and save or share the export somewhere you can access it. The export can then be formatted into a PDF.
Read guide →The cleanest approach is to export the chat, convert it to PDF, then print the finished PDF from iPhone, iPad, Mac, or another computer.
Read guide →WhatsApp does not export a styled PDF directly. Export the chat first, then use the TXT or ZIP to produce a PDF that keeps names, times, and supported photos together.
Read guide →When you choose Include Media, WhatsApp attaches available media to the export. The exact amount included can vary, so always compare the converter’s message and photo counts with what you expected.
Read guide →If you save the export to Files, note the folder you chose during the share step. Searching for .zip or .txt in Files can help you locate the export before conversion.
Read guide →The most common reason is that the chat was exported Without Media, or that WhatsApp only included part of the media set. Re-export with Include Media and check the ZIP before converting.
Read guide →Export the full available chat, then set a start and end date in the converter before creating the PDF. This avoids manually deleting messages from screenshots or text files.
Read guide →Create a paginated PDF first, choose a consistent paper size and readable text size, then print or send the PDF to a book-printing service. Review photo quality before ordering a physical copy.
Read guide →Long exports can be limited by WhatsApp and the sharing method. If one export is too large, consider exporting without media or working with a narrower date range for the printable PDF.
Read guide →Use Include Media when exporting, keep the TXT and image files together, and convert them as one set. A reliable preview should show how many photos were matched before you pay or download.
