> Hello all,
>
> Got a situation which I would really appreciate some help. Got a Whatsapp chat as HTML which is around 120MB. Browsers are unable to read it all due to the size which will create memory issues. I need the messages with one particular contact and not all. Is there any tool that can help in this pls? Maybe a tool that can split up the html file into smaller ones html ones and then I can check the content from each? Any help appreciated.

> Thanks all
### 1. Quick & Dirty Splitting (No Coding)
- Use a text editor that handles huge files:
- Or use an **online HTML splitter** (if it accepts 120MB) or split the file into smaller parts using:
Then open the smaller HTML pieces one by one and search for your contact’s name.
### 2. Other Good Tools
- **WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter** (GitHub) → Great for handling large exports and splitting.
- Convert the HTML to text first, then filter with any text tool.
look up on github for more tools, attaching this one tool here 1-[Tool](https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter)
