ChatGPT Thread Exporter

Tracking since May 29, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 4, 2026
  description

  Instantly export full ChatGPT threads as markdown, with sources and thinking traces.
  
  A Chrome extension that copies the whole content of a ChatGPT thread as Markdown without relying on text selection.
  
  It is designed specifically for ChatGPT pages as they are dynamically mounted since May 2026 and hence cannot be copied with CTRL+A. Unlike generic selection-based exporters, this extension reads ChatGPT's conversation data model directly.çç
  
  It includes user messages, assistant messages, sources and links (numbered and recapped at the end of each turn -- multiple sources for a single sentence are all extracted correctly), and optionally: tool or connector outputs, and reasoning or recap nodes.
