Complete Step-by-Step Guide for iOS Users
Export your WhatsApp chats from iPhone and convert them to professional PDF documents. Our guide covers the entire process from exporting via WhatsApp to generating a beautifully formatted PDF.
Launch the WhatsApp app on your iPhone and navigate to the chat you want to export to PDF.
Make sure you're running the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS for best compatibility.
Tap on the contact or group name at the top of the chat, scroll down and tap 'Export Chat'.
You'll be asked whether to include media files or not. Including media creates a ZIP file, excluding creates a TXT file.
Select 'Attach Media' for complete chat with images and videos, or 'Without Media' for text only.
WhatsApp limits media export to the most recent 10,000 messages with media or 40,000 without media.
Save the exported file to your iPhone Files app, iCloud Drive, or email it to yourself.
For larger exports, using iCloud Drive or Files app is recommended over email.
Visit chattopdf.app on Safari or Chrome, and upload your exported WhatsApp file (ZIP or TXT).
Our mobile-optimized interface makes uploading directly from iPhone seamless and quick.
Choose your preferred tier, complete secure payment via PayPal, and we'll process your chat.
You'll receive an email with your professionally formatted PDF within 24-48 hours.
Large chat histories can take several minutes to export. Ensure you have stable Wi-Fi and sufficient storage space (at least 1GB free). If it continues to hang, try exporting without media first.
Check your Files app under 'On My iPhone' or 'iCloud Drive' depending on where you saved it. The file will be named 'WhatsApp Chat with [Contact Name].zip' or similar.
Check your spam/junk folder. For large files (over 25MB), iOS Mail may fail to send. Use Files app or iCloud Drive instead for reliable transfers.
WhatsApp exports with media can be very large. Try exporting without media (text only), or use our Professional tier which handles larger files up to 500MB.
WhatsApp limits exports to 40,000 messages without media or 10,000 with media. For larger chats, you'll need to export in segments.
iPhone needs sufficient free space for the export process. We recommend at least 1-2GB of free storage for media-rich chats.
WhatsApp compresses media in exports. Original quality files aren't included in the export.
Professional PDF conversion in minutes. No technical expertise required.
Get Started NowExport time varies by chat length. Small chats (under 1,000 messages) take 30-60 seconds. Larger chats with media can take 5-10 minutes. Very large exports (near the 10,000 message limit) may take 15-20 minutes.
