How It Works

Follow these simple steps to export your ChatGPT conversations and convert them into organized files.

Frustrated with ChatGPT's Export Limitations?

What OpenAI Says About Chat History Transfer:

"Bring chats over (workaround)"
• There's no true chat-history transfer or account merge. As a workaround:
• In the new account, start a new conversation
• Upload the exported conversations.json file. This keeps the text accessible in one thread, but it won't recreate your old sidebar history chat-by-chat.

— OpenAI Help Center

The Problem

  • All conversations dumped into one giant JSON file
  • No way to browse individual chat histories
  • Can't import to note-taking apps properly
  • Impossible to organize or search effectively
  • Lose conversation context and structure

Our Solution

  • Extract each conversation as a separate file
  • Preserve timestamps and conversation structure
  • Format for your favorite note-taking app
  • Search, organize, and reference easily
  • Professional metadata and organization

Stop settling for OpenAI's "workaround" — Get your conversations properly organized!
