AI Chat Exporter - Free, Private, OpenSource

Export AI chats from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & more to Markdown or JSON.

AI Chat Exporter is a lightweight, privacy-focused browser extension that allows you to save, back up, and transfer your conversations from web-based AI assistants. With a single click, convert your entire chat history into Markdown (.md), standalone HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word (.doc), or clean PNG image snapshots. KEY FEATURES ------------ - One-Click Export: Trigger quick exports directly from your browser toolbar popup or Chrome's native Side Panel without interrupting your workflow. - Clean Markdown: Preserves rich formatting, headers, lists, tables, inline code, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and LaTeX math equations. - Structured JSON: Generates normalized, schema-compliant JSON files containing message roles, timestamps, and full conversational threads for developers and data analysis. - PDF, Word, PNG & HTML: Generate print-ready PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.doc) files, shareable PNG image previews, or standalone HTML documents preserving original UI presentation. - Cross-Model & Obsidian Transfer: Instantly transfer active chat context between different platforms (e.g., pass your Claude discussion directly into ChatGPT, Gemini, or open directly in Obsidian) to continue prompting. - Clipboard Rich-Text Copying: Copy formatted chat content straight to your clipboard for instant pasting into Notion, Obsidian, document editors, or emails. - 🔒 100% Privacy-First: All processing happens entirely within your local browser. No data is ever sent to external servers or third parties. See the full Privacy Policy linked on the extension's homepage. PRIVACY & TRUST --------------- AI Chat Exporter is built on a strict no-data-collection principle: - No personal data collected: The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification information (PII), chat content, or usage data to any external server — ever. - Runs entirely on your device: It works by reading your active chat page locally, within your own browser session, for the sole purpose of formatting and saving the output to your Downloads folder. - Minimal permissions: The extension only requests the permissions it genuinely needs — access to the active tab on supported AI platforms, and local browser storage for saving your format preferences. Your preferences are kept fully offline and are never synced to any server. - No analytics or tracking: The extension uses no third-party analytics, telemetry, or tracking services of any kind. - Free of charge: AI Chat Exporter is and always will be completely free to use. No subscription, no premium tier, no upsell. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS & EXTRACTION DETAILS ----------------------------------------- Each platform integration uses tailored extraction mechanisms (authenticated session API endpoints or high-fidelity DOM structure mapping) to capture complete data without truncating long chats: - ChatGPT (chatgpt.com): Uses internal session APIs (with DOM fallback) to retrieve complete, uncompressed conversation trees, including reasoning/thinking steps, code blocks, Canvas outputs, web search queries, and uploaded images. - Claude (claude.ai): Uses internal organization APIs (with DOM fallback) to extract full message trees, artifacts, rendered tool outputs, user attachments, and reasoning traces. - DeepSeek (chat.deepseek.com): Leverages internal session APIs (with DOM fallback) to fetch complete message histories, preserving DeepSeek-R1 reasoning/thought traces, formulas, and syntax-highlighted code blocks. - Google Gemini (gemini.google.com): Performs high-fidelity DOM parsing to extract rich conversational trees, expanded reasoning traces, generated tables, inline images, search sources, and web citations. - Perplexity AI (perplexity.ai): Reads the rendered DOM page structure to capture answer text alongside inline search citations, web source links, and follow-up threads.
