Export a Telegram chat from your computer.

Yapped reads the export of a chat made with Telegram Desktop, as JSON or HTML. One chat at a time.

By Pionnier Labs · Updated: 28 October 2026

One chat per export. Export the chat you want, then drop result.json (or the zipped HTML folder). A full account export holding several chats is refused, with a message explaining what to do.

ON A COMPUTER

Export a chat in Telegram Desktop

Open the chat (group or conversation) in Telegram Desktop.
In the chat, open the ⋮ menu and choose Export chat history.
Choose the JSON format (a single result.json file) or HTML. Untick the media: they are not used here and make the export heavier.
Start the export and note the folder where Telegram saves it.
Drop result.json on Yapped. With HTML, drop messages.html, or zip the folder if it holds several pages (messages2.html…).

Telegram describes this menu in the announcement of its export tool; labels may change with the version and language.

JSON OR HTML

Which format should you pick?

JSON: one file, lighter, the simplest to drop.
HTML: several numbered pages. Yapped reads them in order; if a page is missing, it tells you and suggests zipping the whole folder.
Service messages (joins, leaves, renames) are not counted as messages, and a forwarded message counts for the person who sent it in the chat.

GOOD TO KNOW

What is refused

An export of several chats (full account export): export one chat at a time.
An incomplete HTML folder: a page of the chat is missing, zip the entire folder.

HOW IT IS PROCESSED

How it is processed

On your device: Your file is read in your browser. Yapped counts the messages, works out everyone’s statistics and removes phone numbers, emails, addresses, IBANs and card numbers before anything is sent. Nothing leaves before you agree.
Only if you agree: When you tap your name, you agree: the text of the chat, without those details, goes to Yappy, an AI hosted in the European Union with zero retention. It keeps nothing. For ages 15 and up.
What Yapped keeps: Not your messages. If you buy a pack, your binder link (the generated pack, not your chat) lasts 30 days and you can delete it.

The details: how Yapped processes your conversation.

Drop your file on Yapped

Export ready? Open Yapped Drop, drop the file and tap your name: Yappy reads the chat and you open your card pack.
