AI Conversation HTML Exporter

A Chrome extension that turns conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini into clean, standalone HTML documents.

Features

• Export the currently loaded conversation to a polished HTML viewer
• Download a portable standalone .html file
• Create a PDF through Chrome's print dialog
• Preserve formatted text, headings, lists, tables, code, links, and accessible media
• Return to the original conversation tab
• Avoid duplicate viewer tabs for unchanged exports
• Optionally publish an anonymous 24-hour public link through here.now, after a one-time confirmation

Supported sites

• https://chatgpt.com/*
• https://claude.ai/*
• https://gemini.google.com/*

Privacy (honest summary)

Required public policy: https://isaiahcalvo.github.io/ai-conversation-html-exporter/privacy.html

The full text also lives in PRIVACY.md. Chrome treats local processing as handling user data, so the policy describes on-device behavior as well as the optional upload.

• Conversation extraction and HTML/PDF generation happen in your browser.
• The extension can read the loaded chat (text, layout, and media already on the page) and, locally, tab URLs so it can jump back to the original conversation or reuse an open export tab.
• Nothing is sent to the developer. There is no developer backend, account, ad SDK, or analytics SDK.
• Executable extension code is packaged locally. The extension does not run remote JavaScript.
• Publish 24h Link is the only upload. The first use shows a confirmation that the HTML goes to here.now / Cloudflare R2 and that anyone with the link can read it. Later publishes reuse that consent. Do not use it for chats you are not willing to make public.

The use of information received from Google APIs, and of other user data handled by this extension, adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Install from source

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Open chrome://extensions.
3. Enable Developer mode.
4. Click Load unpacked.
5. Select this repository folder.

Use

1. Open a conversation in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
2. Click the extension icon.
3. Choose Create HTML Tab or Create PDF.
4. In the HTML viewer, download the file, print it, share it locally, or publish a temporary link.

Long conversations may be virtualized by the source site. Scroll through the conversation first so all messages are loaded before exporting.

Development

No build step or third-party runtime dependencies are required.

npm test
npm run package

npm run package creates a sanitized Chrome Web Store ZIP containing runtime files only. Exported conversations and test fixtures are intentionally excluded.

Permissions

Permission	Why
activeTab	Read the supported conversation after you click the extension.
ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini host access	Extract the loaded conversation and embed media from those pages.
scripting	Inject the local content.js file if it is not already running.
storage	Keep viewer/source metadata and the one-time publish consent.
unlimitedStorage	Hold large local HTML exports with embedded media.
tabs	Open/focus the viewer and find the original conversation tab. This can read other open tab URLs in this profile for that matching.
here.now and *.r2.cloudflarestorage.com	Used only when you click Publish 24h Link.

Limitations

• The extension exports what the page has loaded into its DOM.
• Protected ChatGPT attachments may require opening the original conversation.
• Source-site DOM changes can require selector updates.
• A published here.now URL is public to anyone who has it.
