Whether you're downgrading from Plus, switching accounts, archiving important conversations, or just want a local copy, ChatLift gives you complete control over your ChatGPT data. ✦ KEY FEATURES • Multiple formats — Export as JSON (raw data), Markdown (clean text), or HTML (full ChatGPT-style view) • Export single chat, project, or everything — Use "Export with ChatLift" in any chat's "…" menu, click the Export tab on a project page, or back up your whole account from the popup • Includes images & attachments — All images and uploaded files in your chats are downloaded and bundled with the export • HTML view that looks like ChatGPT — Open the exported HTML in any browser and read it just like the original • Chunked downloads for large accounts — Backups arrive in ~25-chat ZIPs as they finish, so cancelling never wastes work • Resume after interruption — Browser closed, computer restarted, network dropped? Pick up exactly where you left off, with zero re-downloading • Track your backup progress — See how many chats are backed up offline; only new or changed chats are exported next time • Multiple parallel exports — Run several backups at once across different projects • Fits right into ChatGPT — The export option matches ChatGPT's own menus, in dark or light mode ✦ PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN • 100% local — Everything happens in your browser. Your chats are never sent to any server other than ChatGPT itself. • No analytics, no tracking, no ads — We don't collect any information about you or your chats. • No account required — Just install and click. Uses your existing ChatGPT login. • Open about what we access — Only your own ChatGPT data, only when you tell it to export. ✦ HOW TO USE 1. Install the extension and open chatgpt.com (you must be logged in) 2. Click the ChatLift icon to export the current chat or all your chats 3. Or open any chat's "…" menu → "Export with ChatLift" 4. On a project page, click the "Export" tab next to Chats / Sources 5. Pick formats (JSON / Markdown / HTML) and download ✦ PERFECT FOR • Anyone downgrading from ChatGPT Plus who wants to keep their project chats • Researchers and students archiving conversations for reference • Writers preserving creative work and prompts • Developers saving chat-based debugging sessions • Anyone who values owning a copy of their own data ✦ TECHNICAL DETAILS ChatLift reads your chats through ChatGPT's own internal API with your existing browser session — the same requests ChatGPT's website makes when you load a chat. It doesn't scrape the page, so exports are fast and complete: every message, code block, Canvas document and image, exactly as the conversation appears in ChatGPT. --- ChatLift is not affiliated with OpenAI.
