How to Save WhatsApp Chats as a PDF or Keepsake Book
Some conversations you never want to lose — with someone you love, a family group, or a chat full of memories. Chat Tree lets you take a whole WhatsApp conversation and keep it forever: as a clean PDF, or as a printable keepsake book with a bookcloth cover, your photos and every blue tick, exactly as it looked.
Step by step
- Export the chat from WhatsAppOpen the chat in WhatsApp → tap the ⋮ menu → More → Export chat. Choose Include media so your photos and videos come along. You’ll get a
.zip(or a_chat.txt) file. - Upload it to Chat TreeGo to chattreeapp.fun → Upload a chat → drop in the file. Chat Tree rebuilds the conversation with the real WhatsApp look — bubbles, media, replies, reactions, dates and ticks.
- Choose PDF or a bookFor a simple copy, export it straight to PDF. For something to keep or gift, open Book Studio.
- Design the keepsake bookPick a cloth cover and foil colour, a page size, turn on month chapters and a contents page, add a title and dedication — then export. On a long chat, switch on “2 columns / page” so it builds faster with no loss of quality.
What the keepsake book includes
- A bookcloth cover with a foil-stamped title, your names and the date range
- Six cloth themes and seven page sizes (A4, A5, 6×9in, square, and more)
- Chapters by month, a contents page and a page number on every leaf
- Your messages printed exactly as you see them — ticks, replies, reactions, photos
- A clean PDF you can print at any photo-book service, or simply keep
Nice ways to use it
- A memory book of chats with a partner or best friend
- Preserving a family group’s messages over the years
- Keeping the messages of someone you’ve lost
- A milestone conversation — a proposal, good news, a first hello
Private by design: your chat is read and turned into a book right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save it to your own account.
