Use the script manually in WhatsApp Web. No extension installation is needed. Do not run it alongside the extension in the same tab.

This tool needs a supported members list. Open Group info → View all members before running the script. If that list is unavailable, extraction cannot continue.

Open WhatsApp Web, select a group, then open Group info → View all members. Keep that popup open.

Open Developer Tools → Console

Review and paste the script, then press Enter. Wait for extraction to finish before returning here.

In your WhatsApp Web tab in Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + J to open the Console. These buttons show instructions; they cannot open Developer Tools for you.

Chrome Developer Tools open on the Console tab, with existing page warnings and a command prompt. — Console opened: use the prompt at the bottom. Existing page messages may differ. Select the screenshot to view it at full size.

First time using the Console? Pasting may be blocked. Chrome can show a security warning to protect you from running harmful code. This is a browser safeguard, not an extraction error.

Chrome Console showing a yellow security warning that blocks pasting unreviewed code and asks the user to type allow pasting to continue. — Example of Chrome’s paste warning. Select the screenshot to view it at full size.

Read the warning carefully. Only continue if you understand and trust the script. Obfuscated code is harder to review; if you are unsure, stop and ask someone you trust to review it.
If Chrome’s warning specifically asks you to type allow pasting, and you choose to proceed after reviewing the risks, type those words manually in the Console and press Enter.
Example: allow pasting typed manually at the Console prompt. Select the screenshot to view it at full size.
Paste the script again and press Enter, with the group’s View all members popup still open.

Only follow this step when prompted by your browser. Do not disable browser security settings or startup protections. About Chrome’s paste warning.

CSV uses a protective apostrophe for formula-like text and + prefixed phone numbers. Digits remain intact; raw CSV readers may show the apostrophe. Missing numbers export as empty cells.

Disclaimer

Experimental tool — use at your own risk. Results may be incomplete or inaccurate, and the tool may stop working when WhatsApp changes. Review all extracted data before relying on it or sharing it.

Only export participant information you are authorized to handle. Respect participant privacy and applicable laws; do not use this tool for unsolicited outreach.

Names and displayed numbers are read only from the members popup. Hidden numbers cannot be recovered. Identical names may be merged approximately, and WhatsApp changes or large groups can produce incomplete results.

Contacts stay in this page’s memory until cleared, reloaded, or closed. Nothing is uploaded or saved by the tool. Copied data remains in your clipboard, and downloaded CSV files remain on your device. Base64 is encoding, not encryption.

This tool is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

Contact Extractor policies

For WhatsApp Group Contact Extractor’s extension and console workflows. Updated 24 October 2026.

Terms and Conditions

Only process group participant information you are authorized to handle. Respect participant privacy, applicable laws and WhatsApp’s terms. Do not use exported contacts for unsolicited outreach or attempt to bypass privacy controls.

This experimental, unofficial tool is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta. It reads displayed member information, cannot recover hidden numbers, and cannot guarantee complete or accurate results. Name-only deduplication is approximate. Review results before using or sharing them.

Packages are for manual installation, not approved store listings. Browser and WhatsApp changes may break functionality. No guarantee of availability or fitness for a particular purpose is provided. Nothing in these terms limits rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded. Separate software licences supplied with downloads continue to apply.

Privacy Policy

The extension runs on your request inside WhatsApp Web. Names and displayed numbers stay in the tab’s memory; the extractor does not send them to our servers, analytics, extension background messages or persistent storage. Clearing results, closing the dialog or refreshing the tab removes those results. Downloaded CSVs remain wherever you saved them.

The console workflow copies an encoded payload to your clipboard or offers manual copying. Importing it on this page keeps the contacts in page memory. Clear Results or a page refresh clears them. Clipboard contents can remain afterwards. WAC11 uses Base64 encoding, not encryption.

The website is separate from the extension. Hosting processes normal page requests and may retain operational logs. Crisp live chat processes messages and contact details you choose to share in chat; do not paste extracted contacts or sensitive information there. See Crisp’s privacy policy. WhatsApp handles its own service data independently.

For privacy questions or requests about information held by Rahul Saini, contact the email below. We cannot delete independent copies held by WhatsApp, recipients or on your device. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location.
