Why Not Just Use an App?
Consumer apps upload your private messages. We don’t.
Most “text to PDF” apps send your messages to cloud servers — often outside Canada. Here’s why that matters and why a professional lab is the better choice.
Secure Lab Extraction (Recommended)
- Everything stays on-site at our Surrey lab — zero cloud upload
- Chain-of-custody documentation for court admissibility
- Works on broken, water-damaged, or non-booting phones
- Recovers deleted messages that no consumer app can reach
- Full data wipe after delivery — certificate of destruction available
- Fixed pricing · No subscription · No hidden fees
Consumer Apps (Risky)
- Your private conversations get uploaded to unknown servers
- No chain-of-custody — often inadmissible in court
- Requires a working phone — doesn’t help with damaged devices
- Cannot recover deleted messages
- No guarantee of deletion — data may be stored, analyzed, or sold
- Subscription fees · Privacy policies that change without notice
Think about what’s in your messages: private conversations, legal discussions, family matters, business deals, financial information. Consumer apps treat this as data to mine. We treat it as evidence to protect. After delivery, it’s wiped. Completely. Permanently.

Common Questions
Text message to PDF —
frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about security, cost, timing, and what we need from you.
We extract your text messages from your phone or backup using professional forensic tools — locally at our Surrey lab — and format them into a timestamped, chronologically ordered PDF with sender/recipient information. This format is widely accepted by BC provincial and Supreme Court as admissible evidence. Chain-of-custody documentation is included at no extra charge.
No — never. This is one of the biggest differences between our service and consumer apps. Every extraction happens on air-gapped machines at our Surrey lab. Your messages never touch the internet, are never uploaded to any server, and never leave British Columbia. After delivery, all extracted data is permanently wiped from our systems. Most consumer "text to PDF" apps, by contrast, upload your conversations to cloud servers — often outside Canada — with no guarantee of deletion.
Yes — in many cases. iPhones keep deleted messages in a recoverable state for a limited time. Android devices may have backup files on Google Drive or internal storage. We use professional forensic tools that can recover messages far beyond what consumer apps can do. A free diagnostic tells you what’s recoverable before any commitment.
We can often extract data — including text messages — from phones that are dead, water-damaged, or won’t boot. As Surrey’s professional repair lab, we have board-level diagnostic tools and chip-off extraction capability. In many cases, we can temporarily revive the device or read the memory chip directly to retrieve your messages. This is not something a regular app or computer shop can do.
Standard extraction from a working phone with accessible messages starts at $149 and includes a formatted PDF + digital copy. For broken devices, deleted message recovery, or large volumes (spanning years), pricing is quoted after a free diagnostic. No charge if we can’t recover — No Data, No Fee applies here too. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours. Same-day rush service is available for urgent legal needs (must be received before noon). Large extractions or conversations from damaged devices may take 2–3 business days. You’ll receive a time estimate during the free diagnostic, and we always confirm before proceeding.
Absolutely. We extract conversations from WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Signal, Telegram, Instagram DMs, and standard SMS/RCS — all locally at our lab. Group chats, media logs, and voice note timestamps are included. The final PDF clearly labels which platform each conversation came from.
Simply bring your phone to our Surrey lab at 14935 100th Ave, or we’ll pick it up for free anywhere in Metro Vancouver. You can also mail your device from anywhere in Canada. For iCloud or Google Drive backups, we can work remotely with temporary credentials (changed after completion). If it’s for a legal matter, your lawyer can contact us directly.
We issue a Certificate of Destruction documenting exactly what was extracted, when it was deleted, and by whom. All extraction machines use secure erase protocols (multi-pass overwrite, not just "delete"). You can request the certificate at any time — it’s free. If your case involves legal proceedings, the certificate becomes part of the chain-of-custody record, which your lawyer can reference. No consumer app provides anything close to this level of verifiable data handling.
