Step by step

  1. Open the export window

    On the left side of ChatGPT is your list of chats. Move your mouse over the chat you want and click the three dots that appear on its right.

    Click Export in the menu. You can also open the chat and click the three dots at the top of the page, next to Share. If your ChatGPT has no three dots there, click the chat's name at the top of the page instead.

    You should see: A window called Select Export Format with a list of formats.

  2. Choose Web page with images

    Click the round button next to Web page with images. It is the last choice in the list.

    On the free plan it has a Premium label, like Markdown, JSON and PDF. Text stays free.

    You should see: Web page with images is selected, with the note: Looks like the chat, with every image inside. Opens in any browser, and you can save it as a PDF from there.

  3. Click Export and wait for the images

    Click Export. AI Toolbox reads the whole chat from ChatGPT and downloads every image in it, so a chat with many pictures takes a little longer. Keep the tab open until the file is saved.

    In a hurry? Click Stop and keep what is done. The page is saved with the images fetched so far.

    You should see: The message: Saved. Open the file in your browser. To get a PDF, press Save as PDF at the top.

    The file is named after the chat and ends in .html. It goes to your browser's Downloads folder.

  4. Open the file

    Open your Downloads folder and double-click the file, or click it in your browser's download list. It opens in your browser like any web page, with no internet needed.

    Your messages are in bubbles, ChatGPT's answers keep their headings, lists, tables and code, and the pictures you uploaded, the images ChatGPT created and its charts sit where they were in the chat.

    You should see: The chat's title at the top, the date it was exported, and the whole conversation from the first message to the last.

  5. Save it as a PDF (optional)

    Click Save as PDF at the top of the page. Your browser's print window opens.

    Next to Destination, choose Save as PDF, then click Save. Images, code blocks and table rows are not cut in half between pages.

    You should see: Your browser's print window with a preview of the chat, images included.

    The PDF keeps the theme you see. For a white page, turn Dark theme off before you click Save as PDF.

  6. Read and share it

    Click any image to see it full size, and press Esc to close it. Every code block has a Copy button. Dark theme at the top switches the colors.

    In a long chat, the Your messages list at the top jumps to each of your questions. The link Open the original chat in ChatGPT takes you back to the chat itself.

    You should see: The image larger on a dark background, or the page in the other theme.

That's it. You have finished every tutorial in this section.

If something doesn't look right

Some images say From the web

Photos ChatGPT showed from a web search stay on the websites they came from, so the page loads them from the internet, and a note at the top counts them. Your own uploads, the images ChatGPT created and its charts are saved inside the file and need no connection.

I picked Web page with images and an upgrade window opened

Web page with images is part of Premium, like Markdown, JSON and PDF. Click Maybe later, choose Text, and click Export to save the chat as a free text file instead. Text files have no images.

An image says This image could not be included

The image could not be downloaded, often because it was deleted or has expired on the site. A note at the top of the page counts these, for example Images that could not be included: 1, and each one is marked where it appeared. Everything else is in the file.

Web page with images is grey and cannot be picked

The site changed something on its side, so AI Toolbox paused this format there while it is fixed. The note under the choice says so. The other formats still work, so you can export the chat as PDF or Markdown in the meantime.

It says AI Toolbox was updated. Please refresh this page

AI Toolbox updated itself while the tab was open. Refresh the page, open the chat again and export once more.

Free and Premium

Web page with images is part of Premium on every site, like Markdown, JSON and PDF. The free plan exports any single chat as Text, with no limit.

  • Premium on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok. The free plan exports single chats as Text.
  • One web page per chat. To save many chats at once, pick Web page with images in Manage Chats and you get a ZIP file with one page per chat.
  • Thinking steps, tool calls and other versions of answers you asked again are left out. Only the version of the chat you see is saved.
  • Photos from ChatGPT's web search load from the internet when you open the page. Everything else is inside the file.

What ChatGPT does on its own

ChatGPT can export your data from Settings, under Data controls. It emails you a link to a ZIP file with your whole account's history. It can take up to 7 days to arrive, and the link stops working 24 hours later.

AI Toolbox saves just the one chat you pick, right away, as a page that looks like the chat with its images inside.

Why not just print the ChatGPT page?
