How to convert crypt6 to docx file

The encryption of WhatsApp has continuously been upgraded from the original .crypt format to the latest .crypt15 encryption. That makes a conversion of newer databases using older utilities, such as WhatsApp Xtract, quite challenging.

You can always try an online web extraction service, however that might not work on latest databases. You can export your .crypt6 database as an .html format if it works for you, and then export the resulting .html to .docx format.

Understanding crypt6 and docx file formats

crypt6 files are encrypted backup files used by WhatsApp Messenger to store chat histories on Android devices. These files are not meant for direct reading or editing, as they are protected to ensure user privacy and security. The docx format, on the other hand, is a widely used document file type created by Microsoft Word, allowing for rich text formatting, images, and more.

Why convert crypt6 to docx?

Converting a crypt6 file to docx is typically done to extract and view WhatsApp chat histories in a readable and editable format, such as Microsoft Word. This can be useful for archiving, printing, or sharing conversations.

How to convert crypt6 to docx

Direct conversion from crypt6 to docx is not possible due to encryption. The process involves two main steps:

  1. Decrypt the crypt6 file: Use a tool like WhatsApp Viewer or WazzapMigrator to decrypt the file. You will need the original encryption key from your device.
  2. Export chats to docx: Once decrypted, export the chat history to a readable format (such as .txt or .html), then open it in Microsoft Word and save as File → Save As → Word Document (*.docx).

Recommended software for conversion

  • WhatsApp Viewer (Windows): Decrypts and views WhatsApp backups. Allows export to .txt or .html.
  • Microsoft Word: Open exported text or HTML files and save as docx.
  • WazzapMigrator (Android): For transferring and exporting WhatsApp chats, though primarily for migration.

Important notes

  • You must have access to the original device and encryption key to decrypt crypt6 files.
  • Never use online converters that ask you to upload encrypted WhatsApp backups, as this may compromise your privacy.
  • Always keep backup copies of your original files before attempting conversion.
