About This Tool: Convert iMessage Chats to PDF Privately
The CHATS2PDF iMessage converter is a free, browser-based tool specifically designed for the official export format used by iMessage. Unlike general PDF converters, it parses the structure of iMessage exports — extracting sender names, timestamps, and message content — and formats them into a clean, readable, multi-page PDF document.
Privacy is guaranteed by design. A strict Content-Security-Policy
header blocks all outbound connections from this page — it is technically impossible for your
iMessage messages to leave your device during conversion.
The generated PDF includes sender names, timestamps, and chronological message ordering across as many pages as needed. No watermarks. No account. No cost. See all features →
Frequently Asked Questions — iMessage to PDF
Does Apple provide a built-in iMessage export?
Not directly. You need a third-party tool like iMazing or Decipher TextMessage to export iMessages as a text file, or you can manually copy messages.
Can I export iMessage from a Mac?
Yes. iMazing and other tools support exporting from the iMessage database on macOS. You can also copy messages manually from the Messages app on Mac.
Are my iMessages uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion runs locally in your browser. Your iMessage data never leaves your device.
What format should the iMessage transcript be in?
A .txt file with timestamps and sender names on each line. Most export tools produce a compatible format.
