About WAContact
A focused tool for organizing WhatsApp Web contacts
WAContact helps people turn contact information currently available in WhatsApp Web into an organized Excel, CSV or VCard file.
Why we built it
Contact export should reduce repetitive work
Contact information often needs to be reviewed outside a chat interface. Copying names and phone numbers manually is slow and error-prone.
WAContact keeps the workflow focused: choose a format, source and filters, then review the generated local file.
We build one focused WhatsApp Contact Export workflow for WhatsApp Web and explain its capabilities and limits in plain language.
What we build
Practical controls for an organized contact file
Each WAContact control shapes the contact list before the file is created.
Focused source
Choose All Contacts or Chat List based on the records you need.
Useful filtering
Limit results by business account, country code or WhatsApp label.
