To print your WhatsApp messages into a book, you need to first export a copy of your conversation. There are several ways to do this depending on the phone you are using, whether it’s an iPhone or an Android device. First, regardless of the phone you use, you will be asked to update your WhatsApp application to ensure you have the latest version.
If you are using an iPhone, here is how to back up your conversation:
If you are using an Android smartphone, it is recommended to export without media due to a WhatsApp bug that causes incomplete exports with media. Here is the procedure to back up your conversation:
You can always try contacting WhatsApp customer service in the “Help” section of their application.
(For other types of conversations like Messenger, Instagram, SMS from an iPhone, or SMS from an Android, check the different versions available on the site by clicking on the associated logo on the home screen. You can even merge multiple conversations into one using our conversation merging function. Once you have transferred all your conversations to our site, go to the “My Conversations” section and select the conversations you want to merge. Then click on the merge option and our system will combine them chronologically into one conversation for you.)
Upload the “WhatsApp Chat – ***.zip” file without opening it to our website 🔐 by clicking on “I Create my book.” Stay on the page during the upload 🚨 to ensure all photos are correctly uploaded 🚨.
Once the WhatsApp Chat is successfully transferred, you will be redirected to our customization area. Here, you can choose the title of your book, the cover color, and a photo. To make your book even more personal, feel free to add a dedication that will be placed in the preface of your messages. Also, modify the name, color, and position of the dialogue bubbles for each participant. You also have the freedom to define the period you want to immortalize by choosing start and end dates.
A paper book can hold up to 400 pages, nearly 6,000 messages. If your WhatsApp conversation contains many messages, multiple volumes will be suggested. In terms of pricing, a paper book costs €39.99, including delivery. The price becomes progressive if you order multiple books. If the number of messages is substantial, many users opt for the digital version at €39.99. The ebook (pdf) format offers the advantage of including an entire conversation, regardless of its length, for a single price.
You are one step away from holding your book that chronicles a WhatsApp conversation. You just need to provide the desired delivery address. Rest assured, no matter where you are, we ship worldwide without exception. Once payment is made, the rest is in our hands.
Our books, from a French printing house 🇫🇷 highly regarded for its exemplary Social and Environmental Responsibility, are ready to be shipped within 1 to 2 days. Since our books travel from the country of love, delivery times vary by destination. For example, allow 2 days for France 🇫🇷 and about 4 days for the USA 🇺🇸.
If your order is intended as a gift, rest assured the package will arrive in neutral packaging. The mystery will remain until the package is opened.
One last thing to know: within the hour, you will receive an ebook by email (a PDF file), which corresponds to the digital version of your “MonLivreSMS” book with your WhatsApp conversation. If you have chosen the “paper print” option, this PDF file will allow you to check that everything is perfect before printing your beautiful book. We recommend checking if the photos are there, if the layout suits you, and if the dates match those you selected.

We also recommend saving this ebook PDF file on your Windows or Mac computer, smartphone, or even on your Google Drive so you can read it whenever you want.

When my partner goes on a mission disconnected from the world, I reread our messages in the book, I know he does the same and it helps us get through it..
Since the birth of our first child, we exchange many photos and lots of messages about his firsts. We wanted to keep everything for later.
Charles sends me beautiful and long messages several times a day. I find it so romantic that I wanted to have them in physical form.
For a long time, I had the idea of printing the messages I sent to my wife since I had kept the history from the very first day... I initially thought of doing it myself in PDF, then I discovered MonLivreSMS... Perfect!! Incredibly high-quality service!!
The book is perfect and looks exactly like the images published! For what it is, it's really affordable. A quality product, an affordable price, super quick and friendly customer support, what more could you ask for? Highly recommend it!
The loved ones to whom I gifted the SMS books were very surprised and deeply touched by this original and personal gift.
I stumbled upon it by chance and I don't regret it. An attentive team. Very responsive and open to questions. Plus, the result is perfect for an original and very personal gift!
Great product... over 9000 messages exchanged with photos in 3 volumes 😉 A wonderful gift to give (or receive). The service is excellent. Now I can delete these messages from my phone and save valuable storage space.

Alright, so you’re using an Android. We think we know your issue already 😉 You can only export part of the conversation, right? And probably the most recent messages? The issue is with WhatsApp, which, on some Android devices, limits conversation exports with media to 15 MB via email. This only includes the latest media and texts. To export the complete conversation, you need to opt for an export without media. If you absolutely want the conversation with media, you’ll need to do it from an iPhone. We would have liked to advise you to ask WhatsApp for help via their app, but their responses tend to be vague; we’ve been reporting this issue to them for years.
To easily find your file on iPhone, the best solution is to save it in the “Files” app. Then, you just need to upload the .zip file to our site. Easy as pie, right?
This problem is well known. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not provide captions or messages sent with photos during export. We have repeatedly asked WhatsApp to resolve this issue, but we haven’t received a response yet. We share your impatience and thank you for your understanding. The solution remains to manually write them in the .txt file, but this can be a bit time-consuming.
Usually, right after transferring your conversation, you choose the book title, then you can set the desired period. If the dates don’t match, are you sure you transferred your entire Instagram conversation? You need to choose “all time”. Are your messages present on your Instagram account?
Ah, are there little secrets hidden here? 😄 We chose not to offer this feature to preserve the authenticity of your exchanges and maintain their charm. However, if you absolutely want to delete certain messages, here’s a tip: delete them directly from your phone before creating your book. But shh, keep this trick to yourself, okay?
Did you correctly upload the entire .zip file and not just the .json file? If your browser automatically opened your file, simply compress the folder named “messages” back into a .zip format. If you’re unsure, we recommend starting the procedure from the beginning.
This symbol means that some photos were not transferred correctly. To fix this issue, you can try transferring your conversation again. If that doesn’t work, feel free to contact us.
Unfortunately, when there are many messages (a testament to great love), they sometimes can’t all fit into one book. We strive to include as many messages as possible in each book, but when it’s too much, it’s too much. Multiple books may be necessary.
Great news! It’s entirely possible. Just transfer the different iMessage, Android SMS, Messenger, WhatsApp, or Instagram conversations to your account. Then, in the ‘My Conversations’ tab, you will have the option to merge these conversations into one.
