WhatsApp Business chats as a clean PDF record
Quotes approved, orders changed, a customer who says they never agreed. Keep the conversation as a dated document you can file, email, or attach to an invoice or dispute.

This is your real file, parsed. Pay only if the result is right.
How it works.
WhatsApp does not give you a document. On iPhone the export is a ZIP file, and on Android it is a text file with any media sent alongside it. Getting that out of the app is the part most people get stuck on, so that is step one.
Export from WhatsApp
On iPhone, open the chat, tap the contact or group name, then Export Chat. On Android, open the chat and tap More options, More, Export chat. Choose Attach Media on iPhone or Include media on Android if you want the photos, or Without Media for a much smaller file. Send it to yourself.
Drop the file in
Upload the ZIP as WhatsApp made it. Do not unzip it first. If Android gave you a .txt with the photos as separate files, put them in one zip together, because this takes one file. You will see the participants, the message count and the real formatting straight away, for free.
Check it, then pay
If the names, dates and layout look right, pay once and download the full PDF. If something looks wrong, close the tab and nothing is charged.
Four ways to print it.
Every sample below is page one of a real PDF, made from the same sample as the one above by the same code that makes your file. Pick a style when you preview, and change it as often as you like.
Why businesses export chats
- A customer disputes what was agreed, and you need the whole thread, not one screenshot.
- A job file or claim needs the approvals and photos in one document.
- A staff member leaves and their customer conversations should be kept.
- A payment platform or bank asks for proof of what was discussed.
How to export from WhatsApp Business
It is the same as personal WhatsApp. Open the customer chat. On iPhone tap the name and then Export Chat. On Android tap the three dots, More, Export chat. Choose whether to include media. This page starts in the Clean document style, which files and prints well, and you can switch styles in the preview.
