In the case of a full version of the VK website, downloading the dialogue should not cause you any difficulties, since each method requires a minimum number of actions. In addition, each subsequent instruction can be used by you regardless of the type of browser.
Method 1: Download the page
Every modern browser allows you not only to view the content of pages, but also to save it. In this case, any data can be saved, including correspondence from the VKontakte social network.
- While on the VKontakte website, go to the section "Messages" and open the saved dialog.
- Since only pre-loaded data will be saved, you need to scroll to the very top of the correspondence.
- Once done, click right click mouse anywhere in the window, except for the video or image area. After that, select the item from the list "Save as..." or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+S".
- Specify where to save the final file on your computer. But keep in mind that several files will be downloaded, including all images and source code documents.
- Load times may vary significantly based on the amount of data. However, the files themselves, with the exception of the main HTML document, will simply be copied to the previously specified location from the browser cache.
- To view the downloaded dialog, go to the selected folder and run the file "Dialogues". In this case, any convenient web browser should be used as a program.
- The presented page will display all messages from correspondence that have the basic design of the VKontakte website. But even with the design saved, most elements, for example, search, will not work.
- You can also access images and some other data directly by visiting the folder "Dialogues_files" in the same directory where the HTML document is located.
It’s best for you to familiarize yourself with other nuances yourself, and this method can be considered complete.
Method 2: VkOpt
The process of downloading any specific dialogue can be greatly simplified by using the VkOpt extension. Unlike the method described above, this approach will allow you to download only one necessary correspondence, ignoring the design elements of the VKontakte site itself.
- Open the VkOpt extension download page and install it.
- Switch to page "Messages" and go to the desired correspondence.
You can choose either a personal dialogue with the user or a conversation.
- Within the dialog, hover your mouse over the icon «…» located on the right side of the toolbar.
- Here you need to select "Save correspondence".
- Select one of the following formats:
- .html – allows you to conveniently view correspondence in a browser;
- .txt – allows you to read the dialogue in any text editor.
- The download may take quite a long time, from a few seconds to tens of minutes. This directly depends on the amount of data within the correspondence.
- After downloading, open the file to view emails from the dialogue. Please note here that in addition to the letters themselves, the VkOpt extension automatically displays statistics.
- The messages themselves will contain only text content and emoticons from standard set, if any were used.
- The extension makes links to any images, including stickers and gifts. After clicking on this link, the file will open in a new tab, maintaining the preview dimensions.
If you take into account all the nuances mentioned, you should not have problems either saving correspondence or viewing it later.
