Frequently asked questions

 

Is my chat uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read by JavaScript inside your browser and stored in your own browser storage. It never reaches a server.

Can it show photos, videos and voice notes?

Yes. Export with “Include media” and open the .zip. Images and videos open fullscreen; audio plays inline.

Why do some messages say “Media omitted”?

WhatsApp writes that when a chat is exported without media. Export again with “Include media”.

Does it work with old WhatsApp exports?

Yes, including the 2014-era format and the old SoftBank emoji codes from early iPhones.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up.
