How to export a Gemini chat to PDF

Use AI Chat Export Suite in Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Firefox to save a Gemini conversation as PDF. Open the chat, choose PDF as your default format and use the Export button. Gemini support and individual PDF export are included in the Free plan, with 3 PDFs per day.

PDF content note: PDFs do not support emoji or Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters. Message text in the PDF is plain, without bold or list formatting. If PDF cannot represent your conversation's content, choose Markdown, JSON, CSV or TXT instead. 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.

Save the current Gemini conversation

  • Install the extension in Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Firefox and open the Gemini chat you want to save.
  • Choose PDF as the extension's default format.
  • Set a folder inside Downloads, or choose to be asked where to save each file.
  • Use the Export button on the chat page to export the whole conversation.

You can also use the extension's toolbar popup. It detects the current site and chat and can export that conversation. These steps describe the extension's workflow, not Gemini's own export menus.

Choose only certain messages

Open Select mode and tick the message checkboxes in the sidebar. Use the All, Human, Assistant, None or Invert filters to adjust the selection. Shift+Click selects a range, and selected messages are outlined on the page.

This lets you keep a chosen part of the conversation rather than the whole thread. Select mode is included free, along with all five formats.

Set the PDF layout

Choose the filename and document title. Set A4 or Letter paper, portrait or landscape orientation, margins, light or dark theme and font size. Include a link to the original conversation, start each prompt on a new page or switch page numbers on or off.

These controls change the document layout; they do not add support for emoji, Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters, or rich message formatting. Font choice is not available. Code blocks are kept intact, including long ones.

Revisit exported Gemini chats

The local archive contains the chats you have exported. Search by keyword and narrow your results with the site or code filter. A result reopens the original Gemini chat.

Search is free. Re-exporting a conversation replaces its previous archived copy. The archive does not include unexported history, sync between devices or restore chats to Gemini.

Make a pack with a paid plan

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—Gemini, 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.

Starter starts at $2.99/month for a single provider. Compare Free, Starter and Standard.

What this export leaves out

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. This is not a visual copy of every part of the Gemini interface or a complete account-history export.

For other formats and controls, explore the features or follow the general setup steps. Read the FAQ and learn how your data is handled before choosing an export workflow.
