AI Chat Export SuiteDecide what belongs in the file
For a full discussion, use whole-chat export. If you only need a question and its answer, or a range of follow-up messages, use Select mode. Keep the relevant prompts alongside the responses when you want the saved exchange to make sense later.
Selected-message export does not require a paid plan. Nor does choosing PDF instead of Markdown or another supported format, within the Free plan's daily PDF allowance.
Export the whole Grok conversation
- Install the extension and open the Grok chat you want to save in Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Firefox.
- Set PDF, Markdown, JSON, CSV or TXT as your default format.
- Choose a folder inside Downloads, or choose to be asked where to save each file.
- Use the extension's Export button on the chat page. It saves the whole chat in the default format.
The toolbar popup detects the current site and chat and can export it too. These steps use the extension, not a provider-specific download button.
Export selected Grok messages
Open Select mode. Each message has a checkbox in the sidebar. Use All, Human, Assistant, None or Invert to adjust the selection. Shift+Click selects a range. Selected messages are outlined on the page. Review the selection, then export it.
For a short exchange, choose its messages individually. For a continuous section, use Shift+Click. If you use Human or Assistant, review the outlined messages to check that you've kept the context you need.
Choose a format with its limits in mind
PDF is a paged document. Markdown produces a .md file, JSON and CSV are data formats, and TXT is plain text. Code blocks are kept intact, including long ones.
PDF limitation: PDFs do not support emoji or Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters. PDF message text is plain, without bold or list formatting. These limits apply on every plan and to PDF Packs. Choose Markdown, JSON, CSV or TXT to keep content PDF cannot represent. TXT does not carry rich styling.
Free PDF allowance: the Free plan includes 3 PDF exports per day, shared across all seven sites and reset at 00:00 UTC. Markdown, JSON, CSV and TXT exports are unlimited on every plan.
PDF settings include the filename and title, A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, margins, light or dark theme and font size. You can include the original-conversation link, start each prompt on a new page and toggle page numbers. Font choice is not available.
Find the export again
Each export is saved in the local archive on your machine. Keyword search, code filters and site filters are free. A result reopens the original Grok conversation on its provider site. Re-exporting replaces the previous archived copy; the archive contains only exported chats and does not provide sync or restore.
Optional: combine archived chats
Starter and Standard, the paid plans, add PDF Packs and ZIP packs of up to 200 saved chats from the local archive, ordered newest first. A PDF Pack has a title page and clickable table of contents; a ZIP pack has one file per chat in any of the five formats. Choose the chats, pack title, page size, theme and page numbers. Each chat in a PDF Pack counts as one PDF toward your daily allowance; a ZIP pack in a non-PDF format is not counted. Exports and packs are built in your browser.
Paid plans also remove the PDF branding footer and the pop-up after each export. With a Single provider plan, paid features apply only to the site you choose at checkout—Grok, for example—and the other sites stay on Free. All providers plans cover all seven sites. Paid plans do not change the PDF character or formatting limits.
What this guide does not promise
Images or media downloads, web sources, AI thinking, artifacts, message timestamps and tool steps are not available. Neither are font choice or date filters. This is not a guide to exporting every conversation in your Grok account or importing chats into another provider.
Compare formats and settings, see plan differences or follow the general setup steps. For saved code discussions, see the DeepSeek guide. For text exports that do not include web sources, see the Perplexity guide. Browse every provider guide, read the FAQ or learn how your data is handled.
