How to get your chat
In Facebook request your information as JSON (Settings, Your information, Download your information, Messages). Upload message_1.json from the chat folder.
Your chat is read in your browser. Names and contact details are removed on your device, and you check exactly what would be sent before anything leaves it.
Which one is you?
What the numbers say
Counted on your device from the whole chat. Nothing here comes from AI.
What would be sent
These excerpts are all that leaves your device. Edit or delete any line.

Download your Messenger chats in three steps
Request the download
On Facebook open Settings, then Accounts Center, then Your information and permissions, then Download your information. Pick your profile and select Messages.
Choose JSON
Set the format to JSON and choose a date range, for example the last year. Submit and wait for the email that says the file is ready.
Find the thread and load it
Unzip the download, open messages, then inbox, find the folder with the other person's name and drop message_1.json into the analyzer. Pick which person is you.
Large threads are split
Long conversations are stored as message_1.json, message_2.json and so on, newest first. Load the part you need; for a pattern in recent weeks the first file is usually enough.
Names and characters
Messenger exports share their style with Instagram: accents and emoji can show as strings of odd symbols in some tools. Fix a garbled name in the excerpt box, or paste the text. The counts do not depend on how a symbol is drawn.
Calls, stickers and reactions
Messenger threads hold calls, stickers, photos and reactions as well as text. The analyzer counts text messages as messages and words, and keeps the other kinds apart so a thread full of stickers does not look like a long conversation.
What you get
The free preview gives counts and a short AI observation. The paid report quotes the line behind each point, marks guesses as guesses and drafts three editable replies. It is a one-time price per report with no subscription; see pricing.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the download take?
It can take from a few minutes to a few days, depending on the size. You get an email when it is ready.
Is it the same as the Instagram route?
The steps are very close because both come from the same account settings, but the files and folders belong to each app.
