Save your ChatGPT chats as files you keep.
Extry exports a conversation — text, code, and the files inside it — into Markdown, HTML, DOCX, TXT, JSON, or a ZIP with everything in one archive. Export runs in your browser. No daily limits, no account.

Formats
Six ways out, all of them free
Pick the one that fits where the conversation is going next. Every format is available every time — there is no counter and no daily cap. Whatever you pick arrives as a single .zip with the attachments alongside it.
.md
Markdown with fenced code blocks. Drops straight into Obsidian, Notion, or a repo.
.html
A self-contained copy that keeps formatting and stays searchable in the browser.
.docx
A Word document with real headings and styles, ready to edit or send.
.txt
Plain text for archives, grep, and anything that refuses to open the rest.
.json
Structured messages with roles and order, for scripts and pipelines.
.csv
A table for Excel or Sheets: one row per message, with roles and timestamps.
Attachments
The files inside the chat come with it
Most of a working conversation is not the text. It is the spreadsheet you uploaded, the screenshot you pasted, the chart the model drew back. Copy the text out and you keep the commentary and lose the material.
Extry walks the conversation, collects every uploaded and generated file, and writes them into a files/ folder next to the transcript — with the links in the transcript pointing at them. Open the archive a year later and it still resolves.
Inside the archive
What the transcript keeps that a copy-paste loses
An export is only worth having if it still answers questions months later — which model wrote this, when, and where did that claim come from.
Sources
Deep Research and web-search citations become numbered references, with the URLs listed under the message instead of stripped out with the marker.
Dates
Created, last changed, and exported — three stamps, so you can tell at a glance whether the copy is stale. Every transcript links back to the live conversation.
Styles
Chat, academic, or compact. The academic style drops the colour and sets the text in serif for printing or attaching to work; the saved HTML switches between all three offline.
Paste
Copy a message — or the whole chat — and the bold, lists, tables and code blocks survive into Google Docs, Notion, or Word. Plain editors get Markdown.

Pricing
What is free, and what will not be
Export is free and stays free: every format, no daily limits, no account. Paid extras will come later for people who need more. Nothing that works today will become paid.
Questions
Before you install
Do I need an account?
No. Install the extension, open a conversation, pick a format. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into.
Is there a limit on exports?
No daily cap and no per-format cap. All six formats work every time, on every conversation.
Does the export include images and uploaded files?
Yes. Uploaded files and generated images are saved into a files/ folder inside the ZIP, and the transcript links to them.
Can I paste a chat into Google Docs or Notion without losing the formatting?
Yes. Copying from the exported HTML copy puts both a formatted and a plain version on the clipboard, so Docs, Notion and Word keep the headings, lists, tables and code blocks, while a plain text editor receives Markdown.
Where is my conversation processed?
In your browser. The extension reads the page you already have open and writes the files locally. Conversation content is not sent anywhere.
Can I export more than one conversation at a time?
Yes. One button exports your whole history into a single archive, with a folder per conversation and an index page listing them. How exporting every chat works.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome and Chromium browsers that accept Manifest V3 extensions, including Edge, Brave, and Arc.
