Official export from ChatGPT

ChatGPT provides an export tool in Settings. The email link to download your ZIP expires after 24 hours, and the ZIP includes chat.html with your conversations plus other account data.

  1. Sign in to ChatGPT.
  2. Open Settings from your profile menu.
  3. Open Data Controls and choose Export Data.
  4. Confirm the export and wait for the email link.
  5. Download the ZIP before the link expires.

This export is available to logged-in Free, Plus, and Pro accounts.

Quick one-off options

Extensions can export a chat to PDF, Markdown, or HTML. These outputs are static and do not load into another AI as a native history.

Why the ZIP export feels heavy

The official export is a multi-step flow: request, wait for an email, download the ZIP, unzip, then parse the content. It is fine for archiving but slow for repeat use.

Prepare for Grok

  • Keep a clean question and answer flow.
  • Remove extra formatting that adds noise.
  • Group related messages into short sections.

Import into Grok

  1. Open a new Grok chat.
  2. Paste the cleaned transcript or attach the file.
  3. Ask Grok to continue from the last response.

Checklist

  • Remove private data before sharing.
  • Spot check the final turns for accuracy.
  • Keep the original ZIP as a backup archive.
