Export your AI chats — 100% on your machine.
Honest Chat Exporter saves your ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini conversations to Markdown, HTML or PDF in one click — a single chat or your whole history. No servers, no login, no telemetry. And unlike the rest of this category, every promise is something you can check yourself.
Every feature is included — no limits, no account, nothing that phones home.
Trust
Why “honest”?
Chat exporters have a trust problem. Popular ones have been caught intercepting auth tokens, rendering your PDFs on their servers, slipping in telemetry, stamping watermarks on every page and hiding paywalls behind friendly labels.
In 2025 a single malware campaign shipped 16 fake exporter extensions to roughly 900,000 people. This whole product is built to be the opposite of that — and to prove it without asking for your trust.

Features
What it does well
One extension, one feature set. Everything below is in the build you install.
Markdown that survives
Headings, lists, tables, code blocks with language tags, links, images and LaTeX (KaTeX → $…$) all come through intact — clean enough to drop straight into your notes or knowledge base.
Self-contained HTML
A single standalone .html file with the chat theme inlined. Opens in any browser, pulls nothing from the network.
Real local PDF
Rendered through your browser's own print dialog in a clean messenger-style theme. Long chats auto-load first.
Your whole history in one ZIP
Batch export every conversation at once, streamed straight to a file you pick so nothing huge sits in memory. It paces itself around the site's rate limits, skips a stuck chat instead of hanging, and writes a _failed/ folder that says exactly what went wrong.
Attachments as files
One toggle packs code blocks, tables (as CSV) and full-resolution images into a ZIP next to your document. Anything that would need a network request stays an honest link — never fetched behind your back.
Ready for Obsidian and your notes
The export is clean, standard Markdown with attachments in images/, code/ and tables/ — it drops straight into Obsidian, Logseq or any knowledge base. You import the file yourself; nothing syncs through us.
Claude extras
Long pasted-in text is collected into its own “Pasted text” section, and generated artifacts are marked with their title and type — what's there is surfaced, and what isn't is said plainly.
Full chat or answers only
One checkbox. Keep the whole conversation or just the model's replies.
8 languages
English, Russian, German, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic (RTL) and French — matched to your browser's language setting.
Stays out of the way
One unobtrusive floating button. No toolbars, no nag popups, no “rate us” prompts.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Are there any limits?+
No. Every feature — Markdown, HTML and PDF export, attachments, batch export of your whole history — is included, with no daily caps, no watermarks and no account.
Does it send my conversations anywhere?+
No. It runs entirely in your browser and makes zero network requests. You can confirm this yourself in DevTools → Network while you export — the request list stays empty.
Which AI chats does it support?+
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
What formats can I export to?+
Markdown, HTML and PDF. The PDF is rendered locally through your browser's own print dialog — there is no server-side render.
Can I export my entire history at once?+
Yes. Batch export writes every conversation into one ZIP, streamed directly to a file you choose on your disk. It paces itself to respect the site's rate limits and skips a stuck chat rather than hanging, noting the reason in a _failed/ folder.
Do I need an account or special permissions?+
No account, ever. The only access it requests is to the three AI sites you export from — ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini — which Chrome lists plainly in the install dialog. That access is used for exactly one thing: reading the conversation already open on your screen. It asks for no cookies, tabs, auth tokens or identity, runs nothing in the background, and sends nothing anywhere — your data never leaves your device.
Which browsers does it work in?+
Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. It is built on Manifest V3.
