AI Chat Export SuiteChoose the conversation text you want to keep
Use this workflow for the questions and answers you want to revisit as a file. Save the whole exchange for context, or select a smaller set of messages when only part of the conversation belongs in your notes.
The steps below use the extension's controls. They do not describe Perplexity's native export options or make claims about which native options exist.
Export the whole Perplexity conversation
- Install the extension and open the Perplexity 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.
Choose a smaller set of 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.
Selection changes which messages you include. It does not add web sources, images or other unsupported content to the export. Keep any context you need within the messages you select.
PDF, Markdown or another text/data format
Choose PDF for a paged document; Markdown for a .md file; JSON or CSV for data work; or TXT for 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. Every plan and PDF Packs have these limits. Choose Markdown, JSON, CSV or TXT to keep content PDF cannot represent. TXT is plain text and 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.
For PDFs, set the filename and title, A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, margins, light or dark theme and font size. You can include a link to the original conversation, start each prompt on a new page and toggle page numbers. The original-conversation link is not a web-source export. Font choice is not available.
Search conversations you've exported
Each export is saved in the local archive on your machine. Keyword search and site/code filters are free. A result reopens the original Perplexity conversation on its provider site; it is not a local copy of the original source pages.
Only exported chats are in the archive. Re-exporting replaces the old archived copy. The archive does not include unexported history or provide sync or restore.
Optional: create a collection of exported 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—Perplexity, 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. Packs do not add web sources.
Current export boundaries
Web sources, images or media downloads, AI thinking, artifacts, message timestamps and tool steps are not available. Neither are date filters or font choice. No future availability is promised.
