Hi dev community! 👋
I wanted to share a Chrome extension I recently built to solve a personal frustration: Chat Exporter for Gemini.
Whenever I used Gemini for coding assistance, writing research, or generating documentation, copying and pasting the conversation into another tool was a nightmare. The code blocks would break, tables would lose their grids, and the overall formatting became a complete mess.
To fix this, I built an extension that handles all the heavy lifting locally and exports full or partial chats with a single click.
🎯 Key Capabilities
- Export to Multiple Formats: Seamlessly download as Word (
.docx), PDF, Google Docs, Notion, Markdown (.md), or send straight to Print. - Preserves Gemini Canvas: Fully supports both code artifacts and rich-document Canvas modes.
- Smart Cleaning: Automatically strips out "Thought for X seconds" or "Thinking..." UI noise from your logs.
- Math Equations UI: Correctly renders math equations (converting KaTeX to embedded images) so they don't break in Word or PDF.
- Granular Selection: You can export the full history, prompts only, replies only, or use checkboxes to hand-pick individual messages.
- Privacy First: Zero telemetry or tracking. The extension processes everything on-demand locally in your browser.
🛠️ Built For Real Workflows
- Developers: Dump prompts and precise code snippets straight into Markdown for your GitHub repos, Obsidian vaults, or dev wikis.
- Writers & Marketers: Send clean drafts directly to Word without losing headings or list structures.
- Product Teams: Push technical decisions or project specifications straight into Google Docs or Notion pages.
🚀 Get Started in 30 Seconds
- Open any chat on gemini.google.com.
- Click the format icon directly attached to a message, or use the global action bar icon for the full thread.
- (Optional) Customize your fonts, text size, or colors in the extension settings before triggering the download.
No signups required, no paywalls for basic exports, and completely ready to fit into your daily workflow.
