Make a PDF of a KakaoTalk Chat, the 5-Minute Steps

The steps for turning a KakaoTalk chat into a PDF are simple. Export the chat, load the file, check the preview and save. It all happens inside this browser.

Not legal advice. This page is general information. Whether a court admits or relies on a chat is for the court; convokeep does not promise admission or any outcome. Ask a qualified lawyer about your case. In Korea, for example, you can also ask the Korea Legal Aid Corporation (☎132).

How do I make a PDF of a KakaoTalk chat?

  1. In KakaoTalk, export the chat as .txt.
  2. Move the file to your computer and drop it on the convokeep app.
  3. In the preview, choose the date range, names and messages to black out.
  4. Choose Keepsake or Record, whichever suits your purpose, and save.

What is the difference between Keepsake and Record?

Keepsake is a book-style layout suited to keeping and printing. Record adds page numbers, sender and time, and an integrity page with the SHA-256 of the source file and of the transcript data.

How much can I see for free?

The first 3 pages are a free preview (watermarked, no integrity page). Saving the full PDF is a one-time paid feature.

What happens to photos and emoticons?

A file exported as text does not contain the photos themselves, and they may appear as placeholders. If you really need photos, export with send all messages, keeping in mind that the file gets larger.

Where is my chat sent?

Nowhere. Reading, building the PDF and calculating hashes all happen in your browser. For details, see the privacy policy.

How do I print it?

Open the PDF and print it. For more tips, see how to print a KakaoTalk chat.
