ChatXport
Open exported chats in a clear, searchable format with messages, photos, and attachments presented together. All processing occurs on your device. No data is transmitted externally.
Open any chat, tap the menu, select More then Export chat, and save the ZIP file
Drop the ZIP into ChatXport. Select your name so your messages appear on the right.
Browse messages, filter by sender or date, view attachments, export to CSV or PDF.
Thousands of messages, unnamed media files, no search. Here's how most people deal with it, and why ChatXport exists.
Your chats deserve better than Notepad, and safer than someone else's server.
Switch between views depending on what you need: familiar chat bubbles, spreadsheet-style analysis, or a chronological timeline.
The familiar WhatsApp-style chat interface. Your messages on the right, others on the left. Just like reading your phone.
Spreadsheet-style view with sortable columns. Perfect for analyzing patterns, counting messages, or preparing data for export.
Chronological feed grouped by date. Great for reviewing conversations over time or finding messages from specific days.
Find exactly what you need in seconds, even in chats with thousands of messages.
Online WhatsApp viewers ask you to upload private conversations to their servers. That means your messages, photos, and files pass through someone else's computer. ChatXport is different.
"Some tools claim to be 'GDPR safe' while asking you to upload private conversations to their servers. ChatXport never sees your data, because it never leaves your computer."

Only for the initial license activation and first load. After that, ChatXport works completely offline with no internet required.
You can but exported chat TXT files are difficult to work with. Media files are stored separately, conversations are hard to search, and long chats quickly become thousands of lines of plain text.
ChatXport organizes exported chats into a clean conversation layout with participants, timestamps, and media in the correct context. It also adds fast search, filters, bookmarks, and structured exports like PDF and Excel so large chats become easier to review, analyse, or share.
In WhatsApp, open any chat, tap the menu, select More then Export chat, choose Include media, and save the ZIP file to your computer.

No. ChatXport does not connect to WhatsApp, access your account, or interact with WhatsApp servers. The software only reads chat files that you export yourself using WhatsApp's built-in export feature.
ChatXport processes files locally on your device and does not transmit your chat data to any server. All parsing, rendering, search, and export happens entirely on your device. Your data never leaves your computer and ChatXport does not transmit chat data to any external servers.
We needed a simple way to search years of WhatsApp exports: quickly find conversations, view photos and documents in context, and locate exact messages for legal and client work. So we built ChatXport: a fully offline desktop app that keeps your data private, on your device, where it belongs.
