Export ChatGPT Chat

ChatGPT threads often contain the “final answer” you want to reference later: drafts, troubleshooting steps, specs, and decisions. This Drop in adds an Export chat button near the Share control so saving a conversation feels native.

The export is a clean JSON file that keeps the conversation in order, so you can archive it, search it later, or pipe it into your own notes workflow.

It adds an Export action to the ChatGPT conversation UI and downloads the current conversation as JSON (messages and roles), making it easier to store important threads outside the browser.

Good to Know

  • Exports what is present in the current conversation view at the time you click Export
  • Doesn’t require API credits

Best Use Cases

  • Saving important conversations
  • Building a searchable archive
  • Moving chats into your own notes workflow
  • Sharing context in a doc or ticket
