6 core features to download Claude chats

Export Markdown, JSON, XML, text & PNG

Download a Claude chat as a real file — not a screenshot of the webpage. Markdown for notes, JSON for developers, plain text for the simplest archive, XML for interchange, PNG for a visual snapshot.

Keep code, tables, and artifacts

The export engine parses the message tree so code blocks keep indentation, tables stay tables, and artifacts can be Original, Inline, Nested, or Flat.

Optional thinking blocks and metadata

Include Claude’s extended thinking when you need an audit trail, or skip it. Titles, timestamps, and model metadata can ride along in the same file.

Pin the extension so the download control stays one click away

Search and filter before you export

Narrow the library to new chats, already exported chats, or a Claude project, then export only what you selected.

Built locally in your browser

Conversation content is assembled on your device and downloaded to disk. Google sign-in is used for the free-export quota — not to upload the chat text to our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download a Claude conversation from claude.ai?

Not with a built-in button. Install Download Claude conversations from the Chrome Web Store, open the chat, and export a file.

Is this the same as Claude’s Export data?

No. Anthropic’s Settings → Privacy → Export data emails a ZIP of your account (JSON). This extension downloads the current chat — or a bulk selection — as readable files right away.

Do you store my Claude chats?

Export runs in the browser. We do not receive conversation content. We store a Google-verified email only to count free exports and attach a Pro subscription.

What’s the difference between download Claude chat and claude download chat?

Same task, two ways of typing it. Use the orange button on claude.ai either way.

Does it export PDF?

No. Current formats are Markdown, JSON, plain text, XML, and PNG. Print the page (Ctrl/Cmd+P → Save as PDF) if you need a quick visual PDF, or export Markdown and convert it.

Does it work with Claude Pro / Team?

Yes, if you can open the conversation in the browser on claude.ai. We are not Anthropic.

Is Download Claude conversations affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. This is an independent Chrome extension, not an official Anthropic product.
