    Export & Backup

    Export your WhatsApp chats before they disappear

    A lost phone, a banned account or a wiped browser is all it takes to lose years of conversations. WA Web Plus exports your chats right from WhatsApp Web: pick a chat, pick a format, download the file. There is no cloud in the middle — the export runs entirely in your browser and works even with your internet switched off.

    WhatsApp chat exported into spreadsheet, document and JSON files
    One chat in, four formats out — TXT, HTML, Excel or JSON.

    What you can export

    Chats export as TXT (plain text), HTML (a readable page styled like WhatsApp), Excel-ready CSV, or JSON if you want to process the data yourself. You can also export your full contact list and the member list of any group you're in.

    Export a chat in three steps

    1. 1

      Install WA Web Plus and open WhatsApp Web.

    2. 2

      Open Export & Backup — from the extension settings or straight from a chat's menu.

    3. 3

      Choose chats and a format, then click Export. The file lands in your downloads.

    Good to know: Unplug your Wi-Fi and the export still works. That's the simplest proof your messages never leave your computer.

    Free vs Pro

    Free covers recent messages for up to 3 chats — enough to save what matters today. Pro unlocks full chat history and batch export across all your chats and groups.

    Back up your WhatsApp chats now — free to start.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which formats are supported?

    TXT, HTML, Excel-compatible CSV and JSON for chats. Contacts and group member lists export to Excel/CSV.

    Are my messages uploaded anywhere?

    No. The export runs inside your browser and nothing is sent to us or to any server. It even works offline.

    Can I export photos and videos?

    Not yet — exports cover the message text with sender and timestamp. Media export is on the roadmap.

    Will the other person know I exported the chat?

    No. Exporting only saves what your WhatsApp Web already shows — nothing is sent into the conversation.

    Is it free?

    Recent messages for up to 3 chats are free. Full history and batch export are part of Pro.
