Save ChatGPT conversations to Obsidian with one click. Export ChatGPT conversations
ChatGPT to Obsidian Markdown Exporter
Save useful conversations as clean, durable files for your vault, second brain, local archives, and long-term knowledge management.
Turn full chats, selected Q&A turns, Deep Research reports, project conversations, group chats, archived chats, generated visuals, Library files, and canvas/text document artifacts into an organized local knowledge base.
🚀 Key features
Batch export and bulk backup
Back up multiple conversations, open tabs, project chats, group chats, Library files, visual assets, and archived chats from one workflow. This makes it easier to build a complete local archive instead of saving chats one by one.
Selective batch export
Choose exactly which conversations to include before starting a batch export, so you can save only the chats you need without exporting your entire history.
Vault-ready metadata
Add clean YAML frontmatter for search, filtering, Dataview, and long-term note organization. Exported notes can include dates, source links, tags, project names, and message counts.
Create clean note files
Save conversations as readable files with preserved headings, lists, tables, links, and code blocks.
LaTeX and math expression support
Preserve LaTeX commands and mathematical expressions during export, including inline and display math, so technical and scientific conversations can render correctly in Obsidian.
Deep Research support
Save Deep Research conversations and final reports as readable notes, with improved handling for nested code fences and technical formatting.
Projects, group chats, and archived chats
Save project conversations, group chats, and archived chats while keeping message order, authors, and folder organization. Archived backups are saved into a dedicated `Archived Chats/` folder.
Generated visuals and Library files
Download generated visuals, Library assets, and document files as individual files or ZIP archives. Visual assets can be saved into an `images/` folder and linked from your notes.
Conversation attachments and generated files
Keep uploaded attachments and files generated in a conversation together with the saved note, making each export easier to revisit in Obsidian.
Canvas and artifact export
Save text documents, canvas-style documents, and code artifacts, and keep them connected to the related conversation when possible.
Custom preview page
Preview a conversation before saving, choose the Q&A turns or group chat messages you need, and export the selected content into a single file.
🎯 Built for your knowledge base
Keep the ChatGPT conversations you want to remember—such as a research discussion, coding session, draft, or important decision—as organized, searchable notes in Obsidian. Your saved conversations and supporting files remain together in your local knowledge base for easy reference later.

- Wayne Dam
- It does not export Latex math correctly and will mangle symbols and text. It has a lot of very useful features and would continue to use it and give a 4-5 star rating otherwise, but the extension has a common JavaScript coding oversight where it fails to properly escape special characters backslashes '\' when processing text data strings. So any of \n, \t, \r, and \b in the latex becomes a newline, tab, carriage return, and backspace respectively. This blows up latex symbols like \nu, \theta, \rho, \beta, etc., and wrecks the text. You can try workarounds and fixes but the extension really cannot be used for technical work. I'll be checking to see if they fix this in the future. As I said, it does have a lot of quite useful features.
- Wyatt Melton
- Only one that worked without cutting off over half of the conversation
- Anonymous
- perfect tool
- Jlo Atha
- thanks for help me export my chats, nice developer
- Olga Pavleashvili
- This is a great tool to help me export my ChatGPT chats for use in Obsidian for research and organization.
- King Flipper
- Request to the dev: Can you please allow us to download by opened tabs? I've previously asked for the same request for *Perplexity to Obsidian* extension, which you were kind enough to listen and quick to respond. Thought I ask about it here as well. (Yeah, I'll bump the star up to 5 afterwards. ;) ) Otherwise, this is a solid extension.
- Min Joy
- One-click export from ChatGPT to clean Obsidian Markdown is excellent—code blocks, lists, and images all render perfectly. The “Selective Export” and “Batch Export” features are lifesavers; I often merge key Q&A turns into a single note for faster retrieval. If you research or write, this extension turns your idea stream into a reusable knowledge base.
- Petr Marek
- a researcher, this extension lets me export ChatGPT conversations into Obsidian with one click. Clean Markdown, well-structured, and perfect for long-term knowledge archiving.
- NhuThao NgocTam
- It’s the craft details that make me stay: smart Markdown preservation (I use code blocks as “scene cards” and writing checklists), Projects conversation export for parallel chapter lines, and batch export plus clipboard copy covering my two realities—fragments and drafts. Most importantly, the files become first-class Obsidian nodes: character sheets, chapter progress, and thematic motifs cross-link with ease. It’s not “another tool”; it turns ChatGPT into a living part of my novel pipeline.
- Zach Kiessling
- This is the best export plugin I've ever used; it's super convenient. It can export all my chat conversation conversations in ChatGPT into MD format at once, and then I can import them into Obsidian for management and secondary processing. Moreover, it can mainly export by project selection.
- isnwvd habavd
- This is a very useful plugin. With it, I can export all ChatGPT conversations to MD format at once and then import them into Obsidian. In this way, I can reuse and manage them more conveniently, and searching in Obsidian is also easier. It not only supports incremental export, which is really useful, but also supports downloading images, which is really good. In this way, those images I use for learning design can also be downloaded directly.
- umah qnov
- It's very easy to use. As a student, I like using this plugin. I can export some discussion chat records from the product manager, then conveniently export all my chat processes into an md file. This way, I can quickly import them into Obsidian, which can be used for review.
- kfxo snud
- This literally saved me during finals. I export my Q&A, error analyses, and essay outlines from ChatGPT to Markdown, then add tags and links in Obsidian—my revision path becomes crystal clear. Batch export lets me pack a whole semester into course folders so I’m not hunting for chats anymore. Clean formatting, great readability, and real study efficiency gains.
- aluo jack
- As a researcher, I need to funnel tons of ChatGPT dialogues into my knowledge base every day. This extension’s one‑click and batch export turned my workflow from “copy‑paste hell” into a “structured paradise.” Markdown preserves code blocks, lists, and images; search in Obsidian is smooth. Custom file names and subdirectories make project‑level organization effortless. My retrospectives, literature notes, and review writing are now twice as fast.
- Mohammad Imam Muhsin
- Wow! Awesome extension! It backed up all my ChatGPT conversations into Obsidian perfectly. Plus, the developer is super responsive, clear, and really friendly. Highly recommended!
- He Ve
- Great Chrome tool. I like to use it. It's very easy to export all my ChatGPT conversations to Markdown files, so I can re - use them in Obsidian. Very cool.
- Aluo
- This is really a useful plugin. As a lawyer, I have a lot of conversations on ChatGPT, but it's a hassle to export the data. This plugin makes it convenient for me to export all the data at once, so that I can maintain and manage them on Obsidian. Thank you very much to the developer.
- RiKi AI
- This plugin is very useful. It can help me export ChatGPT conversation records to Obsidian, which is convenient for management, use, and search. It also supports batch exporting all records, which is so convenient. I don't need to search for them one by one in ChatGPT anymore.
- jack aluo
- Nice tool. It helps to save time and is easy to export all ChatGPT conversations to a Markdown - format file.
- Esha Mcdonald
- Very useful. It saves the time of copying and pasting.
- aluojack
- Super useful plug-in. Now it also supports custom saving to subdirectories. It is very simple to batch save my historical conversations with one click. It saves a lot of times. Thank you very much to the developer.
- Aluo tools
- A very easy-to-use extension that can quickly save all historical ChatGPT conversations to the markdown file and i can put them in obsidian
- Bryan Cook
- Button not appearing. Need more information on the extension, such as where to log issues.
- Kun Cheng
- good for export but: 1. It cannot select sections in a conversion if it is a long conversion. so everytime you have to export the whole chat again. 2. It seems removed the code type of code block, so it don't have highligh in md viewers
- Jeff State
- Broken links. Can't even select a link after clicking extension while in chatgpt.com conversation. Unusable
- Shawn Vybiral
- Easy. Fast. Does what it says. Has some minor markdown flaws
- jack aluo
- Extremely handy! I can now easily import my ChatGPT conversation history into my Obsidian notebook.
