StashkinExport ChatGPT to Markdown
Quick answer: Install Stashkin, open the conversation on chatgpt.com, click the Stashkin icon and choose Markdown to save a .md file, or Copy Markdown to put it on the clipboard. Code stays in fenced blocks with its language, tables stay pipe tables, formulas stay LaTeX, and it is unlimited on the Free plan.

How to export ChatGPT to Markdown
Install Stashkin from the Chrome Web Store
Click Add to Chrome. Markdown export needs no account and has no daily limit.
Open the conversation on chatgpt.com
Stashkin reads the whole conversation from the tab.
Click the Stashkin icon and choose Markdown, or Copy Markdown
Markdown saves a .md file named after the conversation title. Copy Markdown puts the same text on the clipboard for pasting into Obsidian, Notion, a README or an issue. Switch the scope above the tiles for assistant replies only, or use Select messages… to pick specific messages. For a single reply, use the Export button beside it.
Paste or open it
Paste into a note or open the file in any editor. The file starts with a link back to the original conversation, followed by each turn under its own heading.

What is preserved
- A link back to the original conversation on the first line
- Each turn under a heading, so a long conversation has an outline
- Headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists
- Code as fenced blocks with the language after the backticks
- Tables as pipe tables
- Formulas as LaTeX between dollar signs, the way Obsidian and most renderers expect
- Block quotes and horizontal rules
- Images, embedded so the file stands alone
- Links and the sources ChatGPT cited, listed at the end
Free vs Pro
Markdown files and Copy Markdown are unlimited on Free and carry no footer line. Pro ($5.88 a month or $46.56 a year) is only needed for unlimited Word and PDF exports, so if Markdown is all you use, Free is enough.
Compare the plansFrequently asked questions
Can I paste it into Obsidian or Notion?
Yes. Copy Markdown, then paste into an Obsidian note: headings, code blocks, tables and LaTeX render as written. Notion converts pasted Markdown into its own blocks, so headings, lists, code and tables come through; there is no direct Notion integration, and none is planned.
Do code blocks keep their language?
Yes. Each block is fenced with three backticks and the language ChatGPT labelled it with, so syntax highlighting works wherever the file is opened.
How are formulas written?
As LaTeX: inline formulas between single dollar signs, display formulas between double dollar signs on their own lines. Obsidian, GitHub, Typora and most Markdown renderers show them as equations.
What is the difference between Markdown and Copy Markdown?
The same text. Markdown saves it as a .md file in your downloads folder; Copy Markdown puts it on the clipboard so you can paste it straight into another app.
Is there a daily limit?
No. Markdown, Text, Image, JSON and both copy actions are unlimited on the Free plan. Only Word (8 a day) and PDF (3 a day) are limited on Free.
What about plain text?
Choose Text or Copy text instead. It is the same conversation without Markdown syntax, for places that would show the asterisks and backticks literally.
