Questions about AI to PDF

Everything people ask before and after installing: how the export works, what ends up in the file, the free limit and PRO, privacy, and the supported sites. If your question is not here, write to us.

Basics

What does AI to PDF do?

It is a Chrome extension that turns the AI conversation you have open into a designed PDF or a clean Markdown file in one click. It works on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek, recognises the site from the URL, and builds the document inside your browser.

How do I export a chat?

Open a conversation on one of the supported sites, click the AI to PDF icon to open the side panel, choose PDF or Markdown and which messages, then press Export. A PDF opens print-ready with “Save as PDF” already selected; a Markdown file downloads immediately.

Can you export a single ChatGPT conversation, not the whole account?

Yes, that is the whole point. ChatGPT’s own export sends your entire history as a ZIP by email; AI to PDF exports just the conversation on screen, or just the last reply, or only the messages you tick.

Do I need an account?

No. Install and export. There is no sign-up, and the free plan has no time limit. PRO is activated with the email you used at checkout, still without creating an account.

Which browsers work?

Google Chrome and other Chromium browsers that install from the Chrome Web Store: Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Arc. Firefox and Safari are not supported at the moment.

What's in the file

What ends up in the PDF?

A title block with the conversation name, source site and date; every message with a You or assistant label; headings, lists, blockquotes, bold and inline code; code blocks with their language label; tables with their columns; images you uploaded and images the AI generated; page numbers. Buttons, menus, screen-reader labels and reasoning blocks are left out.

What does the Markdown file look like?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown: the title as an H1, a line with the source and date, then an H2 per message naming the speaker. Code blocks are fenced with the language, tables are pipe tables. It opens correctly in Obsidian, GitHub, VS Code and Notion imports.

Can I export only part of a conversation?

Yes. The panel offers All messages, Last reply, or Pick. Pick adds a checkbox above every message on the page so you can export exactly the ones you want.

Does it include reasoning or thinking blocks?

No. Claude’s extended thinking, DeepSeek’s DeepThink and Gemini’s thoughts are reasoning scratch work and are excluded on purpose. Only the visible answers are exported.

Does it work on very long conversations?

Yes. ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek unload older messages from the page as you scroll. Before rendering, the extension scrolls through the transcript and collects every message, so the export is complete. Very long chats take a few seconds longer.

Can I choose light or dark?

Yes, for the PDF. Light is ink-friendly for paper; dark keeps a full-bleed dark background on every page, which looks right on screen. Markdown has no theme.

Why does the PDF go through the print dialog?

Because Chrome’s print engine is the best PDF renderer on your machine and it runs locally. The extension prepares the document and opens the dialog with “Save as PDF” selected; you only pick a folder. Tip: if you see a URL or date printed in the page margins, untick “Headers and footers” in More settings once and Chrome remembers it.

Platform specifics: ChatGPT to PDF (citations, generated images, long chats), Claude to PDF (artifacts, attachments, thinking) and the Markdown export.

Free and PRO

What does the free plan include?

3 PDF exports a day, unlimited Markdown exports, all four AI sites, all three message options and both themes. Free PDFs end with one small line, “Exported with AI to PDF · aitopdf.app”. The counter resets at midnight.

What does PRO add?

Unlimited PDF exports, no footer line, use on up to 5 devices with the same checkout email, and priority support. It costs €2.99 a month or €24.99 a year, billed by PIXON through Stripe, and you can cancel any time.

Is one PRO licence valid on every AI site?

Yes. One licence, one extension, every supported site: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. When a new site is added, PRO covers it too.

How do I activate PRO on a second computer?

Install the extension, open the PRO tab and enter the email you used at checkout. Up to 5 devices can share one licence.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 3 days of any payment, for any reason. Email [email protected] from your checkout address. PRO ends when the refund is issued.

Privacy

Is my conversation uploaded to your server?

No. The document is built inside your browser from the page you have open. Our server receives an anonymous install ID and, for free-plan PDFs, a daily export count; that is how the limit and PRO licences work. It never receives conversation text or images.

Is it safe to use a ChatGPT export extension at all?

It depends on what the extension does with your text. Several popular exporters build the PDF on their own servers, which means your conversation is uploaded. AI to PDF has no such server; check our privacy policy and, for any extension, read the permissions and the privacy tab on the store listing before installing.

What permissions does the extension ask for?

Access to the four supported chat sites, storage for your settings and export history, and the side panel. It cannot read other tabs, your browsing history or your passwords.

The full text is short and readable: privacy policy.

Supported sites

Which AI sites are supported?

ChatGPT at chatgpt.com (and chat.openai.com), Claude at claude.ai, Gemini at gemini.google.com and DeepSeek at chat.deepseek.com. Each is re-verified against a live conversation with every release; see the changelog.

Does Claude export to PDF on its own?

No. Claude has no per-conversation export; its Settings → Privacy → Export data emails you all conversations as JSON, with a link that expires in 24 hours. AI to PDF exports the one conversation you have open, as PDF or Markdown.

Does ChatGPT’s data export include PDFs?

No. ChatGPT’s account export is a ZIP with an HTML file and conversations.json covering your whole history, delivered by email, sometimes hours later. It is a backup, not a document. Only Deep Research reports have their own download-as-PDF option.

Help

The export is missing something. What now?

The AI sites change their pages without notice, and that is the usual cause. Email [email protected] with the site, the format and what was missing; page changes are fixed first, usually within a day, and the fix arrives as an automatic update.

Who makes AI to PDF?

PIXON, a small web studio in Thessaloniki, Greece, which also makes the AutoFollow extension. Charges appear as PIXON on your statement. Billing and support for all PIXON apps live at pixon.gr/apps.
