Export ChatGPT Conversations and Import Them into AILibrary

Download your ChatGPT conversation history and import it into AILibrary on Windows, Linux or macOS.

Important: Provider interfaces and export contents can change. Confirm the provider’s current procedure before exporting private data.

Step 1 — Request and download your ChatGPT data

  1. Sign in to ChatGPT in your web browser.
  2. Open your account menu and select Settings → Data controls.
  3. Choose Export data and confirm the request.
  4. When the export email or SMS arrives, download its ZIP archive. The link generally expires after 24 hours.

Official provider instructions: ChatGPT export help.

ChatGPT exports for individual accounts can take up to seven days. Business and Enterprise workspaces do not have the same self-service export option.

Step 2 — Import the export into AILibrary

  1. Start AILibrary on your computer.
  2. Open File → Import Source and select ChatGPT.
  3. Choose the provider export you downloaded. For ChatGPT and Claude this is normally an archive; for Copilot it is CSV. For Gemini, use the supported downloaded activity export.
  4. Follow the import prompts, then review the resulting conversations in the library.

Step 3 — Search, organise and export

Search by conversation title or text, add tags and notes, and mark important discussions as favourites. To create a portable copy, select a conversation and choose PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML or Plain Text in the Export menu.

Troubleshooting

  • No conversations imported? Check that your export contains conversation history and that you selected the matching import source.
  • Export unavailable? Check your account or organisation's permissions and the provider's help page.
  • Unexpected formatting? Export formats evolve. Try the latest AILibrary release and consult support.
  • Privacy: Keep original archives secure and avoid sharing private conversation exports in support requests.

Keep your ChatGPT conversations searchable
