QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
How do I export or download sources from NotebookLM?
Short answer
NotebookLM does not offer a download of your sources or of the text it extracted from them. With NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, select sources in the Sources panel and download their extracted text as Markdown or TXT for free, or as Word or PDF within the daily allowance.
What to know
- The export is the text NotebookLM extracted, not the original file layout.
- Sources that failed to process have no text to export.
- Free handles 5 sources per batch.
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.
