Frequently Asked Questions

How do I export a WhatsApp chat?
On Android, open the chat and tap the three-dot menu > More > Export Chat. On iOS, open the chat, tap the contact name, and select Export Chat. You can choose to include media files or export text only.
Is my WhatsApp data safe with HonestPDF?
Absolutely. HonestPDF runs 100% in your browser. Your WhatsApp messages, photos, and files are never uploaded to any server. We physically cannot access your data.
Can I convert group chats with images?
Yes! Upload the ZIP file (exported with media) and HonestPDF will embed images inline within the chat bubbles. Group chats show color-coded participant names.
What's the difference between ZIP and TXT export?
ZIP exports include media files (photos, videos) along with the chat text. TXT exports contain only the text messages. For the best PDF output with images, use the ZIP export.
Does the PDF include timestamps for each message?
Yes. Every message retains its original date and time exactly as recorded by WhatsApp, in all three PDF styles (Chat Bubbles, Document, and Transcript). This makes the output suitable for legal or compliance use where timestamp accuracy matters.
Can I export a WhatsApp Business chat?
Yes. WhatsApp Business exports work identically to regular WhatsApp. Use the same export flow (three-dot menu → More → Export Chat) and upload the resulting ZIP or TXT file to HonestPDF.
Why can't I see images in the PDF?
Images are only included when you export from WhatsApp with the "Include Media" option selected and upload the resulting ZIP file. If you exported text only (TXT file), images are not available. Re-export from WhatsApp, choose "Include Media", and upload the ZIP file instead.
Is there a message or file size limit?
No hard limit. The tool processes the entire exported chat regardless of length. Very large exports (50,000+ messages or ZIP files over 100 MB) may take longer to process but will complete successfully. All processing happens in your browser, so speed depends on your device's hardware.
