About This Tool: Convert Signal Chats to PDF Privately
The CHATS2PDF Signal converter is a free, browser-based tool specifically designed for the official export format used by Signal. Unlike general PDF converters, it parses the structure of Signal 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
Signal 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 — Signal to PDF
How do I export Signal messages?
Signal does not have a built-in export. You can copy messages from Signal Desktop manually, or use a Signal backup extraction tool with your 30-digit backup passphrase.
Is Signal to PDF conversion private?
Yes — doubly so. Signal is already the most private messaging platform, and CHATS2PDF processes your messages entirely in your browser without any upload.
What format should Signal messages be in?
A .txt file with timestamps and sender names. Most Signal backup tools produce compatible plain text output.
Can I use a Signal backup file (.backup)?
Not directly — you need to extract the messages using a Signal backup reader tool first, then save as .txt for upload here.
