WhatsApp Chat Exporter

Export WhatsApp Web chats to TXT, CSV, JSON, or Excel — with media, date filters, sender/receiver split. 100% local & private.

WhatsApp Chat Exporter is a free, privacy-first Chrome extension that backs up your own WhatsApp Web conversations to TXT, CSV, JSON, or Excel (XLS) — with sender and receiver clearly separated, so the export is ready to read, analyze, or feed into another tool straight away. WHY USE IT Ever needed your WhatsApp chat history outside of WhatsApp — for a personal archive, a legal or business record, journaling, or as training data for an AI/chatbot project? WhatsApp Web doesn't give you a bulk export button. This extension adds one. KEY FEATURES • Multi-chat export — select as many conversations as you want and export them all in a single run, not one at a time. • Four output formats — TXT, CSV, JSON, and Excel (XLS), so the data drops straight into a spreadsheet, a script, or a document. • Sender vs. receiver, automatically — every message is tagged "sent" or "received" and labeled with the real contact/business name, regardless of WhatsApp's UI language. • Date range filtering — export only the messages between two dates instead of an entire chat history. • Media export — optionally capture Photos, Audio (voice notes), Clips (video), and Files as real, downloadable media, bundled into a single .zip alongside your text export. • Stop & Resume — cancel a long export mid-way and download whatever's collected so far, then pick up later exactly where you left off. • Docked side panel — the export UI stays open and keeps its state while you use the rest of the browser, instead of closing every time you click away like a normal extension popup. • Handles WhatsApp's virtualized, lazy-loading chat list and message panel automatically — no manual scrolling required. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Everything runs locally in your browser. There is no backend server, no analytics, no account, and no data ever leaves your machine — the extension only reads the WhatsApp Web page you already have open, and the exported file is generated and downloaded directly by your browser. It only ever has access to the WhatsApp account you're personally logged into. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who wants a personal backup of their WhatsApp conversations • Small businesses archiving customer conversations for records • Developers/researchers building datasets from their own chat history • Anyone migrating away from WhatsApp who wants to keep their message history HOW TO USE 1.
