Three steps to a PDF
iExporter does the export. Your Mac does the PDF.
- 1
Export the conversation as HTML
Check the conversations you need, choose HTML, and export. iExporter saves a ZIP to your Mac.
- 2
Open the HTML file
Double-click the ZIP to open it, then double-click the conversation. It opens in Safari or your usual browser.
- 3
Choose File > Export as PDF
In Safari, choose File > Export as PDF. In any browser, you can also press Command-P and choose Save as PDF.
Better than a stack of screenshots
Screenshots
- Images only, so the text can't be searched
- Long threads take hundreds of images
- A time appears only every so often
A PDF made with iExporter
- Real text you can search and copy
- One document for the whole conversation
- Date and time on every message
Check before you buy
iExporter exports what's in the Messages app on your Mac. Open Messages on your Mac now. Can you see the conversation you need?
You're ready to export.
Anything you can see in Messages on your Mac, iExporter can export, including photos and files that are stored on the Mac.
Older messages may still be syncing.
Large histories can take hours to download from iCloud. To speed it up, open Messages on your Mac, choose Messages > Settings, click iMessage, click Settings, then click Sync Now. Messages already deleted by a Keep Messages setting of 30 days or 1 year can't come back.
Turn on Messages in iCloud on your Mac.
Open Messages, choose Messages > Settings, click iMessage, and select Enable Messages in iCloud. If your iPhone had Messages in iCloud turned on, your history downloads to the Mac, even if you no longer have the phone.
iExporter needs a Mac.
It runs on macOS 13.5 or later and exports the messages synced to that Mac. If you have access to one, sign in to Messages there with your Apple Account and turn on Messages in iCloud.
