ChatGPT to Google Doc

Maintaining a clear and organized record of your ChatGPT conversations is essential, especially when they contain important summaries, complex code, or detailed explanations.

While ChatGPT provides a native copy button for individual responses, it copies the content in Markdown format. When the copied Markdown is pasted into Google Docs or Word, the formatting is often lost or inconsistent. Additionally, there’s no built-in option to copy or export an entire conversation—making it tedious to save longer threads or full sessions.

You can convert ChatGPT content into Google Doc using the ChatGPT to Google Docs or PDF Chrome Extension.

This powerful tool simplifies the process of exporting ChatGPT responses into well-formatted Google Docs, Word, or PDF files, making them easy to share, store, or further edit.

Let’s explore how this extension can help streamline your workflow.

Installating the Extension

The ChatGPT to Google Docs or PDF Chrome extension can be installed in just a few clicks. Follow the steps below to get started on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Installing on Google Chrome

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing.
2. Click the "Add to Chrome" button.
3. Confirm the installation by clicking "Add extension" in the popup.
4. You should now see the extension icon in your browser toolbar.

Installing on Microsoft Edge

Even though this is a Chrome extension, Microsoft Edge supports installing extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store.

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing in Microsoft Edge.
2. If prompted, click Allow to enable installation of extensions from other stores.
3. Then click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the installation.

Once installed, the extension works the same way in both browsers.

Refresh ChatGPT after Installing Extension

After installation:

• Open ChatGPT and refresh the page.
• You’ll now see "Google Docs", "Word" and "PDF" buttons appear below each response and at the top-right of the conversation.

Exporting Single Response From ChatGPT into Google Doc

When you want to save just one specific response, such as a code snippet, a definition, or a key insight, from a longer ChatGPT conversation, the extension lets you export it instantly into a Google Doc.

To convert ChatGPT's single response into a Google Docs, follow the steps:

1. Open any conversation on ChatGPT.
2. Navigate to the individual response you wish to export.
3. Look for the Google Docs, Word, and PDF buttons conveniently located at the bottom right corner of each response.
4. Click the Google Docs button. The content from the single response will be exported into a Google Docs and the output document will open automatically.

What gets preserved?

The exported file maintains the original formatting, saving you from tedious manual adjustments:

• Headings and paragraph structure
• Bullet points and numbered lists
• Code blocks and Markdown formatting
• Math equations (rendered perfectly in Google Docs, Word and PDF)
• Tables and indentation

No extra formatting required – the document is ready to use or share.

Tip: This is perfect for quickly saving helpful code snippets, or concise explanations without the hassle of copying and pasting.

You can improve clarity and structure by grouping the two export options under clearly labeled subheadings and using parallel phrasing. Here's a more polished and professional version without changing the meaning:

Exporting Entire ChatGPT Conversation to Google Doc

Whether you're documenting a research session, project discussion, or keeping a complete record of your AI interactions, exporting the entire conversation can be invaluable. The extension gives you flexibility to include or exclude your own prompts.

Option 1: Exporting entire Conversation with User Prompts

To export the full conversation, including both your prompts and ChatGPT’s responses,follow the below steps:

1. Open any ChatGPT conversation at chat.openai.com.
2. Locate the Google Docs, Word, or PDF button at the top right corner of the conversation window.
3. Click the Google Docs button to export the entire conversation into a Google Doc.

Option 2: Export Only ChatGPT Responses (Excluding User Prompts)

If you want to save only the AI’s output—useful for compiling answers, articles, or summaries without your input, you can disable prompt export by following the below steps:

1. Click the Settings icon at the top right of the ChatGPT conversation page.
2. In the Settings popup, enable the checkbox labeled Export only ChatGPT responses under the Conversion Settings section.

Note: This setting is saved automatically and will apply to all future exports until you disable it.

Exporting ChatGPT Canvas Content into a Google Doc

For those utilizing ChatGPT's Canvas mode in GPT-4 or team accounts, the extension also provides a dedicated export feature for your visual and structured content.

How to export Canvas content:

1. Maximize the canvas so it's fully open on your screen.
2. Once maximized, look for the Google Docs, Word, or PDF button in the top right corner of the canvas.
3. Click the Google Docs button to export the Canvas content into a clean Google Doc.

Important Behavior:

• If the Canvas is open, clicking the Google Docs button available at the top will export only the Canvas content.
• If the Canvas is closed, the same buttons will revert to exporting the entire conversation.

What gets exported?

When exporting from Canvas mode, the extension ensures:

• Only the Canvas content is exported.
• The structure, formatting, and any math equations (if present) are perfectly preserved.

Tip: This feature is invaluable for saving structured diagrams, mind maps, or other visual outputs created within Canvas mode, ensuring you capture precisely what you've designed.
