About this app

Get your text messages off your phone and into a document you can actually use — one you can print, file with a lawyer, or simply keep. SMS Backup exports any conversation to PDF, HTML, plain text or CSV, with chat bubbles, real emoji, your photos and full timestamps. Export one conversation or all of them.

📄 EXPORT TO PDF & PRINT
Turn a conversation into a clean, printable document — sender bubbles, date separators, real emoji and your MMS photos, laid out the way you remember them. Print the PDF straight from the app, or open the file on any computer or phone. No extra software needed.

⚖️ COURT-READY LEGAL EXPORT
For a custody case, an insurance claim, a harassment report or a dispute with a landlord: a formal PDF with a cover page, the total message count, a sender caption above every single message, full timestamps and "Page X of Y" numbering — built to be handed to a lawyer or filed as an exhibit.

🎯 EXPORT EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED
• Pick specific conversations, or export everything at once
• Narrow the export to a date range
• Include photos, videos and voice messages as real files alongside the document
• Search all your conversations to find the thread you need

📂 EVERY FORMAT
• PDF — print-ready, opens anywhere
• Dark PDF — the same document on a dark page
• Legal export — cover page, sender captions, page numbers
• HTML — chat bubbles, opens in any browser
• Plain text — the smallest possible file
• CSV — one row per message, opens in Excel or Google Sheets

🔄 BACKUP, TRANSFER & RESTORE
Every backup also contains a restorable data file. Switching phones? Move it to your new device and restore your SMS in a few taps — your messages are never locked into one phone.

⏰ SCHEDULED BACKUPS TO GOOGLE DRIVE
Set it once and forget it — daily, weekly or monthly backups run in the background and upload to your own Google Drive. If your phone is lost or broken, your messages aren't.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account or registration needed
• Files are created on your device and stay in your storage or your own Google Drive
• Your messages are never sent to us

⭐ PREMIUM
One single purchase — no subscription.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The app cannot recover messages that were already deleted.
• RCS ("chat") messages can be exported on supported devices (e.g. many Samsung phones). On other devices RCS chats may not appear — SMS and MMS always do.
• Restore currently supports SMS text messages.

Ratings and reviews

Does a good job as far as it goes, but it doesn't go as far as I want. The fact that you can select individual senders for backup is an excellent feature, as is the ease of zipping up threads and uploading them to Google Drive. What turned me off is that there are media types that it doesn't back up (ogg audio, and no types of video at all, afaict). And what's really bad is that it DOESN'T LET YOU KNOW WHAT IT SKIPPED. Yo can think you backed up everything, and not find out until it's too late.

This is a great program for backing up text messages. It saves all your messages and photos in a html document. Im not sure how it does with videos since I didn't have any. However when it comes to restoring, it only restores the text and not the photos. So you have manually save / download your photos, and transfer them, if you want to keep your photos and videos. there's no record of when the text with photo was sent. Maybe in details of the file you can get when the picture was created.

My brother passed away, and this app gave me a great way to save our texts. I recommend uploading the file to your Google drive or saving it in the same folder as your photos. There's a single small ad on it, and I love that. These days you really can't find apps like this. That work, aren't full of spam, and have a basic UI that gets the job done. The cherry on top was formatting the saved backup in html format, making it easy to read and view like a text stream.

What’s new

The app now opens straight on your conversations. Pick a few to export, or back up everything from the card at the top.

Faster, too: the conversation list loads several times quicker, and large chats open much faster before an export.

Exports now say what they're doing instead of sitting at 0%, and Cancel takes effect immediately.

New Dark PDF export (Premium).

Restoring hands your SMS app back properly and tells you what was restored.
