Claude Project Downloader

Save Claude chats and projects as PDF, Markdown, JSON or ZIP — with message search, local folders and scheduled backups.

📦 Claude Project Downloader Download your claude.ai projects and conversations straight to your computer — no more copy-pasting long threads or saving files one at a time. Open the side panel on any Claude page, pick what you want to keep, and let the extension package it for you. From research notes to project handovers, Claude Project Downloader keeps your important work readable, searchable, and available even when you're offline. 🚀 1. Key Features ⚡ Download a Full Project or Just the Parts You Need Grab a complete project — its instructions, chats, and knowledge files — as a single tidy archive. Only need a piece of it? Export all files, all chats, or one item at a time instead. Files keep their original format whenever possible, and supported documents can be converted into plain text for easy reading. 💬 Export Chats in the Format That Fits Save any conversation directly from its page or through the panel. 📄 Markdown (.md) – Clean, readable transcripts for your notes app. 🗂️ JSON (.json) – The raw conversation data for tools and processing. 📦 ZIP (.zip) – Transcript bundled with uploads and generated artifacts. 🖨️ PDF (.pdf) – A print-ready document with styled code and tables, saved through Chrome’s print dialog. Set a default format for one-click downloads — or hold Shift while clicking Download to pick a different one anytime. 🔎 Search Inside Every Message Go beyond titles: full-text search with phrase matching and snippets shows you exactly where your words appear across your chats. The Library tab indexes messages on your own machine. Refresh the index whenever you like, pause it, or wipe it completely — it’s your data. 🗂️ Keep Everything Organized Group chats and projects into local folders right inside the extension. Click to select, or drag items onto a folder — whatever feels natural. Rename, move, export, or delete several items at once. Folders live on your computer only; moving or deleting a chat applies to your Claude account directly. 💾 Run Backups on Your Schedule (Pro) Back up chosen projects — or all of them — including loose chats and Cowork tasks if you want. Trigger a manual run anytime, or set a daily or weekly schedule based on your local time. Watch progress live, cancel a running backup, and check the history for skipped or unavailable items. Archives land in your Downloads folder and keep going even after you close the panel. Scheduled backups need Chrome running and signed in to Claude. 💻 Code and Cowork Sessions Export supported Code and Cowork sessions, along with their generated files, straight from the page you’re on. (Code projects are exported per page and aren’t included in account-wide backups.) 📊 See What’s Using Your Allowance Check your current Claude session and weekly usage at a glance, with per-model details where available. Inspect file and token estimates to spot what’s filling up a project’s context. An optional on-page usage meter keeps limits visible while you work. Estimates are approximate. 🧠 Recover Missing Originals When a source file can’t be fetched, the export flags it. For supported cases the extension offers a ready-made prompt you can paste into Claude to ask for the original — nothing is sent automatically. Partial exports always include a report listing exactly what was left out. 📋 2. How to Use 1️⃣ Go to claude.ai Log in and open the project or chat you want to save. 2️⃣ Open the Panel Click the extension icon in the toolbar. On supported chats you’ll also see a Download button beside Share. 3️⃣ Pick Your Content Choose one item or a whole collection, then adjust the output options to your liking. 4️⃣ Save Locally Hit download and check the result. For PDF, finish in Chrome’s print dialog with Save as PDF. 5️⃣ Organize & Automate Use Library to search and file older chats. Use Backups to pick a scope and schedule (Pro). 🎯 3. Practical Uses 📚 Research & Writing Keep dated snapshots of drafts and source discussions. Search old messages when you need to revisit why a decision was made. 💻 Handover & Documentation Preserve technical threads together with the files they produced — a solid starting point for docs, wikis, or a colleague handover. 🗄️ Offline Archive Read finished work without opening claude.ai. Pick a light transcript for quick skimming or a full archive when attachments matter. 🔒 4. Privacy and Storage 🔐 Everything runs locally – Archives are built inside your browser. Your content is never uploaded to our servers. 🔎 Private search – The Library index stays on this computer and can be cleared anytime. 🗂️ Per-organization data – Folders and search indexes are stored separately for each Claude organization. 💻 Your files, your rules – Downloads go straight to your computer for you to keep or share. Access to your Claude content uses your existing signed-in session. A separate extension account only manages your plan and billing. ✨ 5. Free and Pro The free tier includes five single file or chat downloads per local day plus one shared bulk export covering a whole project, all files, all chats, or a Library selection — once. You also get three local folders, the top five search matches, and bulk actions on up to five items at a time. Pro lifts every plan limit and unlocks manual and scheduled backups — as a one-time lifetime purchase. Technical size and rate limits still apply.
