Option 1: Print Facebook Messenger messages without an extra app or software

The easiest way to print your Facebook Messenger conversation uses Facebook Messenger’s own download function – that means you don’t need an extra app or software for this. Just follow the 5 steps described below.

How to print your Facebook Messages

  1. Open the following link on your computer: https://www.facebook.com/dyi/
  2. Click on “Deselect all” on the right-hand side.
  3. Scroll down and select “Messages”. Next, click on “Create file” in the top right-hand corner.
  4. Open the notification Facebook sent you via e-mail or that is shown when you access your Facebook account respectively.
  5. Click on “Download” in the bottom right-hand corner to save your Facebook data to your PC.
  6. Unpack the .zip file and open the index.html file

How to unpack the downloaded .zip file

Your Facebook Messenger chats are downloaded as a .zip file.

To find out how to unpack .zip files with Windows, read this article: Zip and unzip files

Mac users can open the .zip file by double clicking.

You can open the index.html file with your browser. This file contains the date and time stamps for the individual messages, the messages themselves, the emojis, stickers and images.

Print Facebook Messenger conversation as a plain .html file: What happens to voice messages and videos?

When you download your Facebook messages, the .html file contains the text messages, emojis and images – but – and that is the biggest downside of this option: voice messages and videos are “lost”.

Facebook Messenger conversation does export videos and voice messages, but it saves them in a separate folder and does not integrate them into your chat.

Facebook Messenger chat export results in plain .html file – nothing like the original conversation on your phone.

So you end up with an .html file without videos and voice messages that you can now print out. Of course, that doesn’t look great – and nothing like the Facebook Messenger conversation on your phone. After all, the media make your Facebook Messenger chat special – the combination of texts, all emojis, pictures, voice messages and videos – all in their right place. But don’t worry, we have a solution for you.

There is one other option to print your Facebook Messenger conversation – including all media files!
