I Built a Free Tool to Extract Contacts from WhatsApp Groups

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

1. Open WhatsApp Web and navigate to your group
2. Open the members panel (click the group name)
3. Open browser DevTools (F12) and paste the script
4. Wait 1-3 minutes while it scrolls and extracts
5. A .tsv file 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
