Yes. To export NotebookLM reports to Markdown, open the report, choose Export and pick Markdown. It is free in NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, with no daily quota and no account. You get the report as a .md file with its heading hierarchy, lists and tables, with no daily limit.

## Quick facts

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Content | Reports are the long documents NotebookLM generates in Studio, such as briefing documents, study guides, FAQs and blog-style posts. |
| Output | Markdown (.md) |
| Plan | Free |
| Where | Export control on the report, or the Studio list |
| Processing | Converted in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to export. |

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Open the report (briefing doc, study guide, FAQ or similar) in Studio and click the Export control that Ultra Exporter adds. The Studio list also has a direct export entry.
3. Choose **Markdown** in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
4. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get the report as a .md file with its heading hierarchy, lists and tables, with no daily limit.

Markdown is the best format for a knowledge base: paste it into Obsidian or Notion and the structure survives.

## Limits to know before you export

- Long tables and complex equations may need a manual check after export.
- Free Word and PDF files may carry a small Ultra Exporter credit in the footer; Pro removes it.
- A cover page, logo, fonts, header and footer need a Pro branded document template.

## Can NotebookLM export reports on its own?

Gemini Notebook can send a report to Google Docs. It has no direct download to Word, PDF, Markdown or LaTeX files and no batch export. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
