Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Open the note in NotebookLM and click the Export control that Ultra Exporter adds beside it. The Studio list also has a direct export entry.
- Choose Markdown in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
- Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.
What you get
You get a .md file with headings, lists, tables and links intact, ready for Obsidian, Notion or a Git repository.
You can also copy the Markdown straight to the clipboard instead of downloading a file.
Limits to know before you export
- Citations come from the source data NotebookLM exposes. Missing authors or dates are not invented.
- Free Word and PDF files may carry a small Ultra Exporter credit in the footer; Pro removes it.
- Editing the text before export is a Pro option. Free exports the note as it is.
Can NotebookLM export notes on its own?
Gemini Notebook can send a note to Google Docs. It has no direct download to Word, PDF, Markdown or LaTeX files, and no way to export several notes at once. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
