How to save a ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude conversation as PDF, Word or Markdown

An AI draft of a report or a comparison table is often worth keeping, or handing to someone. But copy the answer into a document and the table falls apart, the code loses its formatting and the formulas turn into strings of symbols.

1. Copy and paste

The quickest way, and fine for a short answer. Anything with tables, code or math tends to break where you paste it, and keeping a long conversation means scrolling and copying again and again.

2. Print to PDF from the browser

Your browser's print dialog can save a page as PDF. But the page's buttons and sidebars come along, long chats can be cut off, and some sites only print the part of the conversation that is currently on screen.

3. Use an export tool

With Qarta, a Chrome extension, you export from the button at the bottom right of the chat. Pick Markdown, text, PDF, Word or HTML and a ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Perplexity or Grok conversation becomes a file.

Headings, lists, tables, code (with its language) and formulas come out as they were. Where a site only shows part of a long chat, Qarta reads back to the very first message, so nothing is cut off. PDF is made from a clean print page Qarta prepares — choose “Save as PDF” there.

A whole chat as Markdown, text or a copy is free. PDF, Word and HTML, and picking only the answers, only your questions or just the messages you tick, are Pro features.

Which format to choose

PDF to hand it to someone, Word to edit it first, Markdown to drop it into a notes app or another AI. Markdown keeps headings and tables intact and pastes cleanly into most notes apps.
