Learn how to export your conversations from ChatGPT.

We’ll teach you how to do it on both desktop and mobile devices.

Exporting ChatGPT data is 100% free.

Let’s check it out.

How to export ChatGPT conversations

To expert all of your ChatGPT conversations at once, go to Settings > Data controls > Export> Confirm. You’ll receive your data as a file via email.

Of course, your data is delivered to the email associated with your ChatGPT account.

This method shows you the original way to export chats.

Below you can find all the steps to do this.

A. Desktop

1. Settings

1. Open ChatGPT: chat.openai.com
2. Click your name (bottom left)
3. Select “Settings & Beta“

This will open a new window with all settings.

2. Export

Below is that window:

1. Click the “Data controls” menu (left)
2. Select “Export“
3. Click “Confirm export“

Below is what the confirmation screen looks like:

• Upon clicking “Confirm export” you’ll receive a notification.
• This tells you that your data has been exported.

It comes in a pop-up, like so:

• ChatGPT just told you the data is ready.
• Now, the next step.

3. Download

1. Open your email associated with ChatGPT
2. See a message from OpenAI
3. Click “Download data export“

ChatGPT will make a .ZIP (Archive Document) of your chats:

There you go. That’s your data!

B. Mobile

Below we’re exploring how to do the same, but this time for phones and tablets.

• This process may be slightly different for Android devices.

Here we go:

1. Go to your email
2. Open the email from OpenAI
3. Tap “Download data export“
4. Select “Download“

Between step 3 &4, ChatGPT will open your file in Safari or the browser of your choice.

Your documents will be saved as a .ZIP (Archive) doc.

4. Open

1. In Safari, tap the “AA” button next to the search bar
2. Select “Downloads“
3. Open your file — like in the 1st image above
4. See it in the Files app — like in the 2nd image

You can now share your data or open it on your phone.
