What We're Solving For

Raw exports weren’t built for easy review.

Legal and IT teams hit walls fast: Slack exports are folders of raw JSON, searching private channels triggers "joined channel" alerts, and email exports need a mail app before anyone can read them.

Channel membership filters scope searches without joining

Accessing private channels in Slack notifies users—not ideal for audits

Joining private channels triggers alerts and raises red flags in sensitive HR, compliance, or internal investigations.
Raw Slack JSON export, unreadable

Slack exports come in raw JSON, unreadable without technical help

Parsing Slack’s JSON exports eats up billable hours and internal IT time before legal review even begins.
Searching messages by keyword and date range

Email exports need a mail app before anyone can search them

PST files need Outlook, and Gmail exports arrive as one large MBOX file. Filtering either one by date or person takes manual work.
Legal & IT

Designed for IT. Critical for Legal & HR.

ViewExport turns Slack exports, PST files, and MBOX files into a human-readable, searchable interface: no setup, no engineering time. Help your team respond faster to DSARs, investigations, and ESI production requests, while preserving metadata and privacy.

FAQ

Need help?

Whether you're a small startup, a growing mid-sized business, or a large enterprise, we're here to make things simple and support you at every step.

We're compatible with all Slack plans: Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Just export any Slack JSON archive!
Yes. ViewExport opens PST archives from Outlook and Microsoft 365, which covers Exchange email, Teams chats, and anything else Purview exports to PST format. See our PST & Office 365 eDiscovery page, or just upload a .pst the same way you would a Slack export.
Yes. Upload a Google Takeout ZIP or any .mbox file from Gmail, Google Vault, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird. Gmail labels become folders, and every email is searchable. See our MBOX viewer page, or read how to export Gmail with Google Takeout.
Yes! Find pricing for the downloadable, local-hosted edition of ViewExport on our pricing page. Great for if you have security concerns about employee data leaving your private cloud, or if your contractual obligations prevent sensitive IP from touching third-party servers. With the local edition, we'll never see or have access to your data files.
You can upload anything that is included with the .ZIP file that contains your .JSON exports from Slack. If those files contain private channel and direct message data, they'll be searchable in ViewExport as well. However, we can't help you get data from Slack that was not contained in your export.
There's no implementation required: ViewExport is as easy as setting up an account and uploading a .ZIP file, or installing the desktop edition and opening your file right on your own machine. That said, we're happy to walk you through configuration and best practices.
We take security seriously and serve organizations around the world who are entrusted with strict data governance procedures, including for their Slack data. Here's our full security overview.
Yes, with 2 year contracts we can offer 12% off the Annual Enterprise plan, and with 3 year contracts we're able to offer 14.5% off the Annual Enterprise plan. Above-contract usage is billed monthly pro rata. Reach out to our team for details and we can get you set up.
No, ViewExport is an independent service not affiliated with Slack Technologies Inc. We provide tools to view and search Slack export files but are not connected to, funded by, or endorsed by Slack.
ViewExport is a modern, cloud and desktop platform for searching and governing corporate Slack messages to maintain compliance. Think of us as a single-purpose tool — an alternative to Onna, Mimecast Aware, Hanzo, Smarsh, and Pagefreezer. Technical teams can also compare us to Slackdump or Backupery, or read why teams outgrow Slack's native export for legal review. Message Crawler customers will also enjoy switching to ViewExport so that they can filter and search their Slack archives before uploading them to Relativity, saving a reported $10-50k per year on RelOne data and hosting costs, according to some of our customers. You can read more here about the top Slack eDiscovery tools available.
The free trial is 7 days with a nominal data usage limit to prevent abuse. We want you to know that we're able to handle your needs, and we've noticed that most organizations can determine this in 24-48 hours. Need help with your trial?
