Photos embedded, not just linked
Photos from your export's photos folder are embedded directly in the PDF pages, in the order they appear in the conversation.
Handles split HTML exports
Long chats that Telegram splits into messages.html, messages2.html and more are stitched back into one document when you drop the zipped export folder.

How a Telegram export becomes a PDF
The converter reads your result.json or messages.html the same way the viewer does, then lays out every message as a page in reading order, sender by sender, with timestamps preserved exactly as Telegram recorded them. If you exported with photos or voice-message thumbnails, those are embedded in place rather than left as filenames. For chats Telegram split across several HTML files, drop the zipped export folder so the PDF covers the whole conversation, not just one file's slice of it.
Both paid tiers strip Telegram's own export watermark-free — the free tier keeps a small ChatViewer watermark and caps the document at the first 500 messages so you can check layout, senders and media before buying.
When you need the court-ready version
The Court-ready PDF exists for the moment a Telegram conversation needs to leave your browser and go into a filing, a mediation, or an HR complaint. Bates stamps and sequential numbering let anyone reference "message 47" unambiguously; the SHA-256 hashes let a skeptical opposing party or judge confirm the PDF matches an unaltered original export.
What it cannot do is guarantee admissibility — that depends on your jurisdiction's rules of evidence, the rest of your case, and often a lawyer's judgment call. The prefilled certificate template (Section 65B for India, a 28 U.S.C. §1746 declaration for the US, a witness statement with a statement of truth for the UK, and equivalents for Australia, Canada and elsewhere) still needs to be reviewed, completed and signed by the person who actually made the export — ChatViewer fills in the facts it knows, not a signature.
Questions people ask
Is it private?
Yes. Your Telegram export never leaves your device — parsing, PDF generation and hashing all happen locally in your browser. You can go offline after the page loads and it keeps working.
How do I export a Telegram chat to PDF?
Open your result.json or messages.html here, click Export PDF, and choose a tier. The free PDF covers the first 500 messages with a small watermark; Unlimited ($9) covers every message with embedded photos; Court-ready ($19) adds Bates stamps, SHA-256 hashes and a certificate template.
Can I convert a Telegram chat to PDF with photos?
Yes. Export with photos ticked in Telegram Desktop, drop the zipped export folder here, and both the Unlimited and Court-ready PDFs embed the photos in place.
Can I use it in court?
The Court-ready PDF produces a complete, tamper-evident transcript with a cover page, message numbering, Bates stamps, SHA-256 hashes and a prefilled certificate template. Whether a specific court accepts it depends on your jurisdiction and the rest of your evidence — this is not legal advice, and the certificate still needs to be signed by the person who made the export.
What happens after I pay?
You get an unlock key instantly. It works in any browser, on every Telegram export you open, for as long as the site exists — there is no subscription.
Does the PDF work for Telegram groups and channels?
Yes, the same converter handles one-on-one chats, groups and channels, including per-sender names in group conversations.
