A browser-based tool formats Android SMS/MMS backups and WhatsApp exports as numbered, timestamped PDFs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.

For: People preparing message records for court
Worth noticing: Redacted lines keep their numbers in the record, with the text replaced by “[REDACTED]”; iPhone iMessage is marked unsupported.

Field notes

Android users are directed to create an XML backup with SMS Backup & Restore; WhatsApp users export a chat as ZIP or TXT, optionally with media. The page lets users select a conversation and redact individual lines while retaining their numbered positions; its PDF includes a cover sheet, attachment index, and SHA-256 fingerprint of the source export. iPhone iMessage export is explicitly marked unsupported, and the page says court rules differ by jurisdiction.
