Will a court accept this PDF?

That is for the court to decide, and convokeep cannot promise it. The page gives you formatting prepared for submission, with an integrity hash: dated messages, page numbers and a hash page. It is not legal advice, so ask a lawyer how your court handles chat records.

What does the integrity hash prove?

It shows that the source file and the PDF have not changed since they were made. It does not show that the original conversation is authentic or complete.

Should I keep the original export?

Yes. Keep the untouched .txt or .zip from WhatsApp, together with the .sha256.txt file convokeep gives you, and do not edit them.

Is my chat uploaded to prove anything?

No. The hash is computed in your browser. Your messages stay on your device and no account is needed.

WhatsApp Chat for Submission: A Clear, Dated Record

When a conversation matters in a dispute, a pile of screenshots is hard to read and hard to check. Export the chat, then use the convokeep app to make a PDF in the Record layout, with page numbers, timestamps and an integrity page. Everything is done in your browser, so the conversation never leaves your device.

What you get

A PDF of the whole chat with the date, time and sender on every message. You can search, pick a date range, redact a message and rename participants before you save. The free preview shows the first 3 pages with a watermark and no integrity page; the full export is paid.

Page numbers and time stamps: you can point to "page 12, 14:05" instead of describing a screenshot.
Integrity page: SHA-256 hashes of the source file and of the PDF.

Record layout and the hash

convokeep offers formatting prepared for submission, with an integrity hash. In plain terms, the hash page lets you show later that the exported file and the PDF are the same as on the day you made them. It does not show that the original chat is authentic or complete, because a hash cannot know what happened before the export. Admissibility is decided by the court, and this page is not legal advice. If the outcome matters, ask a qualified lawyer how your court wants chat evidence presented.

Step-by-step export

Use the original chat on the phone where it lives. WhatsApp creates the export file on your phone, as a plain .txt file or, when you attach media, as a .zip. Both work here. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions.

iPhone: open the chat, tap the contact or group name, tap Export Chat, choose Without Media (or Attach Media), then Save to Files.
Android: open the chat, tap the ⋮ menu, then More, then Export chat. Choose Without media or Include media, then save the file or share it to Drive.

PC: WhatsApp Desktop has no export button. Export on your phone first, then continue with step 4.
Saved the file on your phone? Move it to your computer. Email it to yourself, put it in a cloud drive such as Google Drive, iCloud or OneDrive, or copy it over USB. Then drop the .txt or .zip file on the convokeep page.

Long chats: WhatsApp exports up to 40,000 messages without media, and only about 10,000 with media. For a very long chat, export without media.

Keep the exported file exactly as WhatsApp made it, and do not open and re-save it. Work from a copy.

Privacy

The file is read and the PDF is built in your browser. No chat or attachment is uploaded and there is no account. Hashing happens locally too. The site counts visits and exports with cookieless analytics, and those events never contain message text, names or file names. Read the full privacy policy.

Record vs Keepsake

Record adds page numbers, a sender and time stamp on every message, and a SHA-256 integrity page for the source file and for the PDF. Choose it when someone has to read your conversation as a record. Keepsake is a book-style layout meant to be saved or printed. Choose it for a family chat or a memory. See the disclaimer.
