Exporting a WhatsApp chat only takes a minute. Once you have the file, you can drop it into PrintMyChats and start designing your book right away.

Step 1: Open the chat you want to export

Choose the individual or group chat you want to print.

Step 2: Use the Export Chat option

On iOS, tap the contact name and scroll to Export Chat. On Android, tap the three-dot menu and choose More > Export chat.

Step 3: Choose without media

If you only need the text messages, select Without Media. You can always add photos later inside PrintMyChats.

Step 4: Send the file to yourself

Email it to yourself or save it to Files/Drive so you can open it on desktop.

Step 5: Import into PrintMyChats

Drag and drop the export file into the editor, then pick a layout and start customizing.
