How to Export Claude Chats and Import Them into AILibrary

Export Claude conversation data through its privacy settings and organise it in AILibrary.

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

Step 1 — Request and download your Claude data

  1. Sign in to Claude on the web or use Claude Desktop.
  2. Open the account menu and go to Settings → Privacy.
  3. Choose Export data and wait for the download email.
  4. Download your export archive using the link while it remains valid.

Official provider instructions: Claude export help.

Anthropic states that data exports are not requested from its mobile apps. Work and Enterprise access may depend on your administrator role.

Step 2 — Import the export into AILibrary

  1. Start AILibrary on your computer.
  2. Open File → Import Source and select Claude.
  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.

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 Claude conversations searchable
