Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Find it here: Export entry on an open mind map in Studio.
- Use it on one item first and check the result before running it on many.
What it does
- Reads tree data rather than a screenshot, so nothing needs to be expanded first.
- Follows three steps: choose output, confirm content, download.
- Exports one branch with its parent path kept as context.
Limits to know
- Images are laid out automatically and will not match the on-screen arrangement.
- Apps differ in how they import OPML and FreeMind styling.
- Check the node count in the preview if Google has changed the page.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
