Your WhatsApp chats, in full, forever.
WhatsApp's export stops at 40,000 messages and drops your media. WaChat opens the whole chat — every message from day one, every photo and voice note — right in your browser or on your phone, and keeps it in your own Google Drive. No server ever sees a word.
Free: one complete chat, forever. On the web, just sign in with Google or email — nothing to install.

No server in the middle
Decryption, parsing and search all run on your device. The only things our server knows are that you signed in and whether you have Plus.
Your Google Drive, not ours
Backups live in the hidden app folder of your own Drive. Delete the folder from Drive settings and it is gone — from everywhere.

Messages kept from a 120,000-message chat
WhatsApp export stops at 40,000 messages. WaChat doesn't.
"Export chat" truncates: 10,000 messages with media, 40,000 without. A five-year conversation loses its beginning — and most of its photos.

Three ways to start
Pick whatever you already have. All three land in the same viewer.
Your encrypted backup + 64-digit key
Pick msgstore.db.crypt15 from your phone, paste your 64-digit key, and get every chat at once — no limits, with media if you add the WhatsApp folder.
Import a backupThe Android app
WaChat on your phone decrypts the backup where it already lives, saves it to your Drive and updates it every night. Then open it anywhere on the web.
Get the appWhat WaChat does
Everything WhatsApp Web shows you — plus the things it never will.
Complete chats
No 10,000 or 40,000-message cap. Direct import has been tested on a 336,000-message chat with media.
Every photo, voice note and sticker
Media stays attached to its message: playable voice notes with waveforms, videos, documents with size and type, transparent stickers.
Direct import with your key
Decrypts WhatsApp's own encrypted backup with your 64-digit key, on your device. The key never leaves your browser or phone.
Works in the browser — no app
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Drop a file and read. Installable as an app and fully usable offline.
Instant search
Search inside a chat or across all of them, filter by sender, type and date, jump to any day with a calendar.
Insights WhatsApp never gives you
Messages by person, by hour and month, longest streak, fastest replier, top words and emoji — shareable as an image.
Export and print
PDF with a date range, standalone HTML, WhatsApp-style TXT, full ZIP, CSV and JSON — all generated locally.
Memories
"On this day", weekly rewinds and a yearbook built from your own chats. Private, never sent anywhere.
Optional passphrase encryption
Encrypt your backup with a passphrase before it reaches Drive. Not even Google can read it — and neither can we.
Your Google Drive
Backups go to the hidden app folder of your own Drive. Sign in on a new phone or browser and everything comes back.
Offline and local-first
Chats live in your browser's storage. Once opened, they work with no connection at all.
Nine languages, RTL included
Arabic, English, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, French and German — picked automatically, changeable any time.

WhatsApp is for talking. WaChat is for remembering.
Every memory is built from your own chats, on your device, and stored next to them in your Drive. Nothing is ever sent to anyone.
On this day
"Same day, three years ago" — a photo or message picked from your chats, every morning.
Weekly rewind
A 20-second video from this week's photos across the years, ready to share — or keep.
Our story and the yearbook
First message, milestones, busiest day, word of the year — and a PDF book to print or give.

Not a promise — an architecture. The path is your phone or browser → your Drive → your browser. There is no stop at our place.
The key stays with you
On Android the 64-digit key is wrapped by the Keystore. In the browser it becomes a non-exportable CryptoKey — or is not stored at all.
Your Drive, hidden folder
Only the drive.appdata scope. WaChat can't see your other files, and you can wipe the folder from Drive settings.
The web reads directly
Your browser fetches files from Drive with your own token. Our server holds only your subscription state and a sign-in token.
Free stays free. Plus adds the rest.
Every chat. Every night. Every memory. One price, set fairly for where you live.

One subscription unlocks Plus in the Android app and on the web. On Google Play it renews automatically until you cancel. On the web you choose how to pay at checkout.
Card payments on the web come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Crypto payments are prepaid for a fixed term, do not renew and cannot be reversed automatically — contact support for any issue. Google Play purchases follow Google's refund policy.
Why is the price different in other countries?
We price WaChat Plus by country so that it costs roughly the same share of income everywhere — the same price templates Google Play uses. Your country is detected on our server from your connection when you buy; there is no country picker, and the price is locked to your account so it doesn't change when you travel.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers. The help center has the long ones.
Can WaChat read my messages?
No. Your chats are decrypted and stored on your device — in the browser's storage or on your phone — and, if you choose, in the hidden app folder of your own Google Drive. No server of ours ever receives a message, a media file or your key. All we know is that you are signed in and whether you have Plus.
Is this an official WhatsApp product?
No. WaChat is an independent product and is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. It reads backups and exports that WhatsApp already gives you, using your own key.
Do I need the Android app?
No. WaChat Web works on its own: sign in with Google or email, then drop a WhatsApp export or your msgstore.db.crypt15 backup plus your 64-digit key into the browser. The app adds automatic nightly sync and saves everything to your Drive.
Why do I need the 64-digit key?
WhatsApp encrypts its backup with it. Without the key nothing — not WaChat, not anyone — can open the file. That is exactly what keeps your data safe, and it is why the key never leaves your device.
WhatsApp offers me a passkey instead of 64 digits. What now?
Since late 2025 the default is a passkey. Turn end-to-end encrypted backup off and on again, and choose "Use 64-digit encryption key instead". Then run a new backup so the file is encrypted with that key. The import guide walks you through it.
Where is the crypt15 file on my phone?
In Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases/ — the file is called msgstore.db.crypt15. Older daily copies are named msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt15. You can pick it directly in the browser's file dialog on your phone, or copy it to a computer over USB.
