What you can export

Four Ways to Export WhatsApp Contacts

Pick exactly the people you need. Every source supports all four file formats.

Group members

Export participants from one group or hundreds at once. Include or skip admins with one switch, and merge people who appear in several groups into a single row.

Chats & saved contacts

Export everyone you have a personal chat with, or only the numbers saved in your address book.

WhatsApp Business labels

Export customers you tagged "New customer", "Paid" or any other label, each listed once.

Contacts by country

Filter by country code. Shared codes are split by area code, so +1 numbers land in the USA, Canada, Jamaica or Puerto Rico, and +7 numbers in Russia or Kazakhstan.

Privacy

Your Contacts Stay on Your Computer

Contacts Saver reads what WhatsApp Web has already loaded in your browser and writes the file straight to your Downloads folder. Phone numbers, names and messages are never uploaded to our servers. The extension only runs on web.whatsapp.com and asks for the minimum permissions: storage and access to WhatsApp Web.

WhatsApp Contact Export: Common Questions

How do I export WhatsApp group contacts to Excel?

Install Contacts Saver, open WhatsApp Web, click the extension icon and tick the groups you want on the Groups tab. Click Export and choose Excel (.xlsx). The file downloads with every member's phone number, country and name.

Is Contacts Saver free?

Yes. You get 30 full exports in every format, vCard included. After that, each export includes the first 10 rows and vCard requires VIP. VIP removes all limits.

Can I extract phone numbers from a WhatsApp group I'm not an admin of?

Yes. Any member can see a group's participants in WhatsApp Web, so any member can export them. The export only includes people you can already see in WhatsApp.

How do I save WhatsApp contacts to my phone?

Export in vCard (.vcf) format, then open the file on your phone, or import it into Google Contacts or iCloud. All contacts are added in one go. Our save-to-phone guide has Android and iPhone steps.

Does it upload my contacts anywhere?

No. Contacts are processed inside your browser and saved directly to your computer. We only receive an anonymous install ID, the extension version and your language, which we need for free-export counting and VIP.

Will exporting contacts get my WhatsApp account banned?

Exporting reads data WhatsApp Web has already loaded and sends no messages, so it doesn't behave like spam. Account restrictions usually come from what happens next, like mass messaging people who didn't agree to it. Read how to use exported contacts responsibly.
