WhatsApp Chat / Text Cleaner

What this tool does

Remove supported WhatsApp timestamps and sender labels while preserving multiline message text.

How to use

Paste an Android or iOS text export. Choose whether to keep sender names and remove paired formatting. Process, review and copy or download TXT.

Limitations

200,000 characters. Recognizes common numeric date/time Android and iOS message headers only. Other formats and system messages remain unchanged. It does not recover deleted messages, parse attachments or authenticate a chat. Formatting removal can affect literal symbols; keep it off if unsure.

FAQ

Are files or text uploaded?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser.

Should I review the output?

Yes. Compare it with the original using the stated limitations before use.

Does it work on mobile?

Modern browsers are supported; format support and available memory depend on your device.
