PyWxDump was a Python tool for extracting and decrypting WeChat local data such as messages, contacts, and account information from Windows installations. The repository was emptied in October 2025 after a cease-and-desist letter from Tencent, and the code is no longer available or maintained.

Use cases

  • export wechat chat history to a readable format
  • decrypt wechat local database files
  • backup wechat messages from a pc
  • recover wechat contacts and message history
  • analyze wechat data for digital forensics

When to choose

  • you already have an old local copy and understand the legal risks of using it

When to avoid

  • you want to download or install the tool - the repository has been emptied
  • you need support, updates, or security fixes - none are provided
  • you are concerned about legal or compliance risk - the author explicitly warns users to stop using it
  • you need a supported wechat export solution - use official wechat export features instead
