Support | ChatGPT Export to Markdown

Support

ChatGPT Export to Markdown exports the currently open ChatGPT conversation to a local Markdown file.

Please do not send private chat content unless it is necessary for the issue. If possible, send a sanitized example instead.

Known Limitations

Supports https://chatgpt.com/* only. Legacy chat.openai.com is not included in the v1 permission footprint.
Exports only the currently open conversation. There is no batch export or account-wide export.
Output format is Markdown only in v1.
Export accuracy depends on the live ChatGPT page structure. Future UI changes can require an extension update.
Exact visual fidelity of complex ChatGPT tables is not guaranteed in v1 Markdown output.
Code block language detection is heuristic-based and may occasionally miss or mislabel a fence.
Images and task-list checkbox state are not structured export targets in v1; if this content appears as visible text in the page, it may be exported as plain text or regular list content.
If a chat has not finished loading yet, export can fail with a retryable "No chat messages were found" alert.
Browser download policies or disabled downloads can block file saving even when extraction succeeds.

Privacy

The extension processes chat content locally in the browser for Markdown export. Chat content is not sent to external servers. Read the privacy policy.
