Save a Claude chat as
Works on claude.ai with Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans — chats, Projects, and Cowork sessions, one thread or bulk history.
Install Download Claude conversations from the Chrome Web Store and pin it. Takes about ten seconds.
An orange download button appears to the right of the message box. For many chats, open View and Download All Conversations.
Choose PDF, Markdown, JSON, text, CSV, XML, or PNG and click Export. No account needed — Google sign-in is asked only for PDF and bulk exports.
Full walkthrough with screenshots: how to download a Claude chat.
Download a Claude chat as a real file — not a screenshot of the webpage. PDF for reading and sharing, Markdown for notes, JSON for developers, CSV for spreadsheets, plain text for the simplest archive, XML for interchange, PNG for a visual snapshot. Or press Copy to put the result on the clipboard.
Open View and Download All Conversations to list your history, search by name, filter by project or Cowork, and click Export All. One ZIP instead of one tab at a time — 3 chats a day on the free plan, unlimited on Pro.
The export engine parses the message tree so code blocks keep indentation, tables stay tables, and artifacts can be Original, Inline, Nested, or Flat.
Export the whole thread, only your prompts, only Claude’s answers, or just the messages you tick with Select. Include extended thinking when you need an audit trail, or skip it. Titles, timestamps, and model metadata can ride along in the same file.
Narrow the library to new chats, already exported chats, or a Claude project, then export only what you selected.
Every file, PDF included, is assembled on your device and downloaded to disk. Most exports need no account. Google sign-in only counts PDF and bulk exports and attaches a Pro subscription — it never uploads chat text to our servers.
A paginated file with your page size, light or dark theme, font, and table of contents.
MarkdownHeadings, code blocks, and tables paste cleanly into a notes vault or docs repo.
JSONStructured messages with roles and metadata, ready for code to read.
Plain textOpens anywhere, searches fast, and never breaks when tools change.
CSVOne row per message for Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.
XMLTagged messages for pipelines and tools that expect XML.
PNGOne image of the conversation for a slide, ticket, or message.

Not with a built-in button. Install Download Claude conversations from the Chrome Web Store, open the chat, and export a file.
Yes. Markdown, plain text, JSON, XML, CSV, and PNG exports are unlimited and need no account. PDF and bulk ZIP exports ask for Google sign-in and are free up to 3 a day. Pro, at $3.99 a month or $26.99 a year, removes that cap.
Desktop Chrome and Chromium-based browsers that install extensions from the Chrome Web Store. There is no mobile app, and it does not run inside Claude Desktop.
Cancel any time from the extension’s Options page (“Cancel subscription”) or through Paddle. Your first payment has a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
No. Anthropic’s Settings → Privacy → Export data emails a ZIP of your account (JSON). This extension downloads the current chat — or a bulk selection — as readable files right away.
No. Every format, PDF included, is built in your browser, and conversation text never reaches our servers. If you sign in with Google for PDF, bulk export, or Pro, we store that email only to count the daily allowance and attach your subscription.
Same task, two ways of typing it. Use the orange button on claude.ai either way.
Yes. Pick PDF in the export panel and set page size, margins, light or dark mode, font, page numbers, and a table of contents. PDF needs Google sign-in; the free plan includes 3 PDF or bulk exports a day, and Pro is unlimited. Full walkthrough: download a Claude chat as PDF.
Yes, if you can open the conversation in the browser on claude.ai. We are not Anthropic.
Install the free Chrome extension, open the chat on claude.ai, click the orange button, pick a format, and click Export. No account is needed for Markdown, text, JSON, XML, CSV, or PNG. That is how to save a Claude conversation as a real file. Printing the page and Anthropic’s account ZIP are the other two options — comparison on how to download a Claude chat.
Only the ones on claude.ai. Claude Code on the web (claude.ai/code) and Cowork sessions export like any chat. Local terminal sessions are not read by the extension; they use /export or JSONL files on disk — see Claude Code export.
No. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. This is an independent Chrome extension, not an official Anthropic product.
