Archive to PDF, take notes in Markdown, analyze with CSV — every export downloads instantly, no watermarks.

PDF

Print-ready archiving — save chats as clean documents via your browser print dialog.

CSV

Spreadsheet-ready — Role and Content columns, one row per message for analysis.

SmartConvert Chat Exporter is a free Chrome extension that exports any ChatGPT conversation to PDF, Markdown, HTML, TXT, CSV or JSON. It adds a floating export button to chatgpt.com and a one-click popup, and it is built for developers, writers and AI users who want to save, share or back up their chats.

Six formats in total: PDF, Markdown, HTML, plain text (TXT), CSV and JSON. You can also set a default format and export all messages or only the ones you select.

Both chatgpt.com and chat.openai.com are supported. Just open any conversation — the floating export button appears automatically — and export the whole thread or only the messages you select.

The CSV file has Role and Content columns, one row per message, ready for spreadsheets and analysis. The JSON file keeps the full structure — conversation title, messages with roles and the export time — ideal for backups and developers building on top of chat data.

Yes. Click any message row to toggle it, or use Select All and Deselect All. You can also filter by User or Assistant first, then export exactly the subset you need in any of the six formats.
