FAQ
AI chat export: your questions answered
AI Chat Export Suite exports chats from seven AI sites in Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Here are the format limits, plan details and data-handling facts to know before you start.
Which AI sites can I export from?
The extension supports Claude at claude.ai, ChatGPT at chatgpt.com, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Microsoft Copilot at copilot.com. All seven sites are included in the Free plan.
Which browsers does it work in?
The extension is available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. It works with the seven supported AI websites; no AI desktop-app or mobile-app support is claimed.
Which export formats are free?
PDF, Markdown (.md), JSON, CSV and plain text (.txt) are all available on the Free plan. Markdown, JSON, CSV and TXT exports are unlimited. PDF exports are limited to 3 per day on Free.
How many PDFs can I export per day?
Free includes 3 PDF exports per day, Starter 30 and Standard 100. The allowance is shared across all sites, not counted per provider, and resets at 00:00 UTC. A failed PDF download is usually not counted.
How does the Export button work?
The Export button on the chat page saves the whole conversation in your default format. You can also export from the toolbar popup, which detects the current site and chat.
Can I export only selected messages?
Yes. Select mode provides a sidebar checkbox for each message. Use All, Human, Assistant, None or Invert, and Shift+Click to select a range. Selected messages are outlined on the page. These controls are included on every plan.
Where are my files saved?
Choose a folder inside Downloads, or choose to be asked where to save each file. Each export is also saved in the local archive on your machine.
Does PDF support emoji and Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters?
No. PDFs do not support emoji or Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters. Use Markdown, JSON, CSV or TXT to keep content that PDF cannot represent. These PDF limitations apply on every plan and to PDF Packs.
Will PDF keep bold text and list formatting?
No. PDF message text is plain, without bold or list formatting. PDF layout settings do not change that limitation. TXT is also plain text and does not carry rich styling.
What PDF settings can I change?
You can set the filename and title, A4 or Letter paper, portrait or landscape orientation, 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. Paid plans remove the PDF branding footer.
Are long code blocks kept intact?
Yes. Code blocks are kept intact, including long ones. This does not add support for artifacts or other content outside the supported message export.
What is not included in an export?
Message timestamps, AI thinking, artifacts, web sources, tool steps and image or media downloads are not available. Date filters and font choice are not available either.
Does the archive contain every chat in my AI accounts?
No. The local archive contains only chats you have exported with the extension. It does not include unexported chat history and does not provide sync or restore.
How do I search exported chats?
Search the local archive by keyword and narrow results with code and site filters. A result reopens the original conversation on the AI provider's website. Archive search is included on every plan.
What happens when I export the same conversation again?
Re-exporting a chat replaces its previous archived copy rather than adding a duplicate to the archive.
What do Starter and Standard add?
Both paid plans remove the PDF branding footer, add PDF Packs and ZIP packs, and remove the pop-up after each export. Starter includes 30 PDFs per day and Standard 100. All seven sites, all five formats, message selection, PDF settings and archive search are already on Free.
How much do the paid plans cost?
Starter costs $2.99/month or $23.99/year for a single provider, or $4.99/month or $39.99/year for all providers. Standard costs $3.99/month or $35.99/year for a single provider, or $7.99/month or $59.99/year for all providers. Yearly plans are billed annually.
What is the difference between Single provider and All providers?
With Single provider, you choose one AI site at checkout and paid features apply on that site only; the other sites stay on Free. With All providers, paid features apply on all seven sites. The daily PDF allowance is shared across sites either way.
How many chats fit in a PDF or ZIP pack?
Packs support up to 200 saved chats. A PDF Pack combines them into one PDF with a title page and clickable table of contents. A ZIP pack contains one file per chat in any of the five formats. Search the archive to select chats. Packs are ordered newest first.
Do packs count toward my daily PDF allowance?
Each chat in a PDF Pack counts as one PDF. A ZIP pack in a non-PDF format is not counted.
Can I customize a PDF Pack?
Yes. Choose the chats, pack title, page size, theme and page numbers. PDF Packs have the same character and plain-message-text limitations as individual PDF exports.
How do I remove the PDF footer?
Starter and Standard remove the PDF branding footer. Free-plan PDFs include it.
How do I change or cancel my plan?
Cancel anytime from Manage subscription in the extension. To change your plan or your chosen site, email support@aichatexport.net.
Does the extension send chat content to a server?
No. Exports, including PDFs and packs, are built in your browser, and the extension does not upload your chats. On paid plans, the extension contacts our server to check your license and your daily PDF count; that contact does not include chat content. This applies to the extension, not the AI providers' websites, checkout or billing email.
Does the extension use analytics or tracking?
No. The extension has no analytics or tracking. Its permissions are storage, downloads and access to the seven supported AI sites.
Why is there a checklist during setup?
The onboarding checklist follows Open an AI chat, Pick a chat, Choose folder and First export. It disappears after your first export.
