There is no built-in way to export every notebook. With NotebookLM Ultra Exporter you archive notebooks one at a time for a single free archive, or with Pro select several notebooks in the workspace and archive them together. Each notebook becomes its own indexed ZIP or synced folder.

## What to know

- Archiving several notebooks at once requires Pro.
- Media files make archives large; leave them out if you only need text.
- Run it again later: folder sync writes only what changed.

> Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long does a full export take?

It depends on the number of items, since each note, chat and Studio output is read from NotebookLM. Text-only archives are much faster than archives with audio and video.
