QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
How do I export NotebookLM to Google Docs?
Short answer
For one note or report, use the built-in option in its menu to send it to Google Docs. For chats, several notes, or anything the built-in option does not cover, export a Word file with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter and open it in Google Docs, which converts .docx files on upload.
What to know
- The built-in route creates a new Doc in the Drive of the signed-in account.
- A Word export keeps headings, tables and footnotes when opened in Docs.
- For a single combined Doc from many notes, use merged export.
Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
Free or Pro?
Free within a shared daily quota: Word, PDF, image PPTX, long image and video exports share 5 successful exports per local day. Pro removes that quota. 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
Does the built-in export keep citations?
Check the Doc after export; citation handling has changed between NotebookLM versions. An exported Word file can convert citations to footnotes.
