Ever needed to extract all contacts from a large WhatsApp group? Maybe for community management, marketing outreach, or just backing up your group members?
I built WhatsApp Contact Extractor - a free, open-source JavaScript tool that does exactly this. No extensions, no installs, no sign-ups.
How It Works
- Open WhatsApp Web and navigate to your group
- Open the members panel (click the group name)
- Open browser DevTools (F12) and paste the script
- Wait 1-3 minutes while it scrolls and extracts
- A
.tsvfile downloads automatically
What You Get
A clean spreadsheet with:
- Phone numbers
- Saved contact names
- WhatsApp display names
Why I Built This
Existing tools either cost money, require browser extensions (security risk), or send your data to external servers. This tool is:
- 100% client-side - your data never leaves your browser
- Zero dependencies - just one JS file
- Free and open source - MIT licensed
