One file, opens anywhere

An HTML export packs the whole conversation into a single file, with images embedded. There is nothing else to keep track of: email it, store it, or put it on your own web space.

It looks like a readable web page, so people can view it without any special software.

Why choose HTML

  • Self-contained

    Everything lives in one file, with images embedded.

  • Readable anywhere

    Any browser opens it, on any device, with no extra app.

  • Good for archives

    Keep a faithful, readable record of an important chat.

  • Choose your messages

    Export the whole conversation or a selection.

How to do it

  1. Open the chat

    Go to the conversation on chatgpt.com and optionally use SELECT.

  2. Choose HTML

    Pick HTML from the format list in the side panel or the EXPORT menu.

  3. Open the file

    Double-click the downloaded file to read it in your browser.

Questions about this export

Can I edit the HTML file?

Yes, it is an ordinary HTML file. For easy editing without code, Word or Markdown is usually more convenient.

Do images stay in the file?

Yes. Images are embedded so the file stays self-contained.

How is this different from PDF?

HTML is a flowing web page that adapts to the screen, while PDF has fixed pages. Choose HTML for reading on screen and PDF for printing or sharing fixed layouts.
