Google Chat: Export Chat History with all Media files

About

That project decision from three months ago? The client approval buried somewhere in a group chat? You can export it in about 10 seconds.

Chat History Exporter grabs your full Google Chat conversations, images, videos, documents, file attachments and all. Pick a conversation, pick a format, click export. Done.

What you get:

★ DMs, group chats, Spaces. All exportable.
★ Three formats: HTML (keeps the original look), TXT (plain text, easy to search), CSV (clean columns for spreadsheets)
★ Images, GIFs, videos, docs, file attachments — they're all in the export, not just the text
★ Timestamps and sender names stay put, so you actually know who said what
★ You can export a full history or just a specific date range

Why this one over the others:

★ It runs inside Google Chat. No extra tabs, no external apps.
★ The HTML export is genuinely good. Formatting, colors, avatars, embedded media — it looks like your actual chat.
★ CSV output is ready for Excel or Sheets. Columns for timestamp, sender, and message content.
★ It won't choke on long threads.
★ Everything runs locally in your browser. Your data doesn't go anywhere.

When it comes in handy:

★ You're moving your team off Google Chat and need to take the conversations with you
★ HR or legal asked for a record of a specific thread
★ Someone made a decision in chat four months ago and now nobody can find it
★ A client said yes in a group chat and you need that in writing
★ You just want a local copy before something gets deleted

Export formats:

HTML — Opens in any browser. Formatting, media, links, styling all intact.
TXT — Plain text. Quick to search, easy to skim.
CSV — Timestamp, sender, message. One row per message. Drops right into a spreadsheet.

Hit "Add to Chrome" and your first export is done in about 10 seconds.
