QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
Can you export NotebookLM chat history?
Short answer
Not with NotebookLM itself. Gemini Notebook saves your chat history to the notebook but has no export or download for it; you can only copy a single reply or save it as a note, and copying drops the citations. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter adds an export control to the chat panel that saves the conversation with citations.
Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Open the notebook and the chat panel.
- Click the export control the extension adds to the chat.
- Select the turns, choose a format and download.
What to know
- Free formats: Markdown, HTML, TXT, JSON and LaTeX. Word and PDF use the 5-a-day allowance.
- You choose which turns to include and whether to keep citation markers.
- Scroll a long chat to the top first, so every message is loaded.
Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
Free or Pro?
The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. 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.
Frequently asked questions
Are deleted chats recoverable?
No. The extension reads the conversation that is in the page. Export before you clear a chat.
