QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
How do I export notes from NotebookLM?
Short answer
Open the note and use its menu to send it to Google Docs, which is the only built-in route. To download a file instead, install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, open the note and click Export: Markdown and LaTeX are free without limit, and Word and PDF are free up to 5 exports a day.
Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Open the note in the Studio panel.
- Click Export, choose the format and save the file.
What to know
- Markdown suits Obsidian, Notion and other notes apps.
- Word and PDF keep headings, tables, equations and citation markers.
- To export many notes together, use batch export in the Studio panel.
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
Can I export all my notes at once?
Yes. Batch export handles 5 items per batch on Free and has no limit on Pro. The whole-notebook archive exports everything in one ZIP.
