We believe in honesty. Here are situations where iMazing WhatsApp Backup & Export might be a better fit:
iMazing is an iPhone backup tool with WhatsApp export as a side feature. We exclusively focus on creating professional, beautiful WhatsApp PDFs. Our entire product is optimized for PDF quality, not backup management.
iMazing exports basic text or HTML. Our PDFs feature professional WhatsApp-style chat bubbles, optimized pagination, and layouts designed for presentation and legal use. The visual difference is dramatic.
iMazing requires desktop software and an iPhone. We're web-based and work with both iPhone and Android WhatsApp exports. Convert from any device with a browser - Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook, or tablet.
Our Professional tier creates well-formatted PDFs with preserved timestamps, metadata retention, and formatting suitable for business and professional documentation. iMazing offers no advanced formatting features - it's a backup tool, not a professional document creator. Your attorney determines legal admissibility.
"iMazing is great for iPhone backups, but the WhatsApp PDF looked terrible. ChatToPDF's formatting was exactly what we needed for case documentation."
Angela Rivera
Legal Secretary
"I don't need iPhone backup software - I just needed one professional PDF. ChatToPDF was the perfect solution without the $45 commitment."
Kevin Zhang
HR Manager
No, not even close. iMazing is iPhone backup and management software - WhatsApp PDF export is a minor auxiliary feature. Their PDF output is basic text or HTML format that doesn't look like actual WhatsApp conversations. You get plain text messages with timestamps, but no chat bubbles, no professional layout, no optimized pagination. ChatToPDF is purpose-built exclusively for creating beautiful, professional WhatsApp PDFs that look exactly like the actual app. Every aspect of our product - from parsing to formatting to output - is optimized for PDF quality. For business presentations, professional documentation, or any formal use, the quality difference is night and day. iMazing is fine for technical data extraction, but not for PDFs that need to look professional or be presented to others.
