Part 2: FAQs About WhatsApp Export

Q1. Can I Export More Than 40,000 WhatsApp Messages at Once?

It is impossible officially. This is because the email, which is the official in-app exportation option, can only export a maximum of 10000 messages with media files at once and 40000 messages without media files.

However, you can do this with WooTechy WhatsMover. It does not have message limitations and can export your chats irrespective of the quantity with or without media files.

Q2. How to Export Entire WhatsApp Chat As PDF?

One tricky method to do this is by screenshotting the entire chat and converting the images to PDF with third-party apps, but this is not very feasible if you have lengthy conversations to export.

As we have stated above, WooTechy WhatsMover can also export WhatsApp chat to PDF. This process is not complicated, and it is very similar to the steps of exporting WhatsApp chat to Excel explained in Method 2 above. The only difference is that you will select the PDF option in the Save as tab instead of the XLS or CSV option.
