Backup My AI ChatComparison
AI chat exporter extensions compared
Ten browser extensions that export or back up AI conversations, side by side. We make Backup My AI Chat, one of the ten, so read this as a maker's comparison: every figure about another product comes from its own store listing or website, is linked, and was read on 6 October 2026.

Five things that differ
1. Where the PDF is made
Four of the tools here say they send the conversation to their own server to build the PDF and delete it afterwards. That is a reasonable design, but it means your chat leaves your computer. Backup My AI Chat builds every format in your browser.
2. What the free plan really includes
Most free plans are metered: three PDFs a day is the common figure, and two tools keep file downloads or Markdown for paying users. If you export often, check the limit before you choose. Backup My AI Chat has no paid plan: every feature on this site is free.
3. Whether you need an account
Several tools need a sign-in, at least for their paid plans. Backup My AI Chat has no accounts at all; it uses the AI sign-ins already open in your browser.
4. Export on request, or a backup that keeps itself up to date
Exporting is something you remember to do. A backup happens whether you remember or not. Chat Memo and AI Toolbox keep an automatic copy inside the browser. XWX keeps one as files, through a paid desktop app. Backup My AI Chat writes one Markdown file per conversation into a folder you choose, on a schedule, from the extension alone.
5. Which AI services are covered
AI Exporter, XWX and YourAIScroll each list more services than Backup My AI Chat does. If you rely on NotebookLM, Poe, Mistral or one of the Chinese-language assistants, one of them will suit you better.
Each extension in brief
ChatGPT Exporter
The most installed and best rated tool in this list, with a long track record on ChatGPT and CSV export that few others have. ChatGPT only, and PDF export is metered on the free plan and made on their server. Best for: People who only use ChatGPT and export a PDF now and then. Store listing · Website
AI Exporter
The widest list of supported AI sites, plus Notion sync and versions for Edge and Firefox. Daily limits on PDF, Word and Notion on the free plan, and PDFs are made on their server. Best for: People who use many AI sites or keep their notes in Notion. Store listing · Website
Superpower for ChatGPT
A full workspace for ChatGPT: folders, search, a prompt library and frequent releases. Export is one feature of many. ChatGPT only, and the more advanced features are in the paid plan. Best for: Heavy ChatGPT users who want to organise chats inside ChatGPT, not just export them. Store listing · Website
ExportGPT
The longest format list here, including HTML, Excel and CSV. ChatGPT only; screenshot and PDF exports go through their server. Best for: People who need a ChatGPT chat as a spreadsheet or HTML file. Store listing · Website
AI Toolbox
Folders, prompts and advanced search across four services, with a searchable local copy of your chats. Needs a login, and Markdown and PDF export are in the paid plan. Best for: People who want folders and search across several assistants and are happy to pay. Store listing · Website
Chat Memo
Saves chats automatically in the background, and covers several Chinese-language assistants the others skip. Saved chats live in the browser's own storage, not as files you can open, search or back up yourself. Best for: People who want a hands-off history inside the browser, especially for Doubao, Kimi or Qwen. Store listing · Website
YourAIScroll
Wide service list, a public changelog and roadmap, and versions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Downloading a file at all needs the paid plan. Best for: People who use Poe or Mistral and do not mind a subscription. Store listing · Website
AI Chat Backup
Writes Markdown straight into a local folder or Obsidian vault without a sign-in, and has a good set of guides. Each chat is saved by hand; there is no PDF or Word export and no scheduled backup. Best for: Obsidian and Notion users who save the occasional chat. Store listing · Website
XWX AI Chat Exporter
The only other tool here with scheduled backup to Markdown files, and it publishes a sample PDF you can judge. The scheduled backup needs a paid desktop app and Windows; the extension alone has daily limits. Best for: Windows users who want scheduled backups and are willing to run a desktop app. Store listing · Website
Where Backup My AI Chat fits, and where it does not
Backup My AI Chat is for people who want their AI conversations as ordinary files on their own computer: a PDF or Word file of one chat when they need it, and a folder of Markdown files that stays up to date without them thinking about it. Nothing is uploaded, nothing needs an account, and nothing is metered.
It is the wrong choice if you need any of these:
- A track record. It is new. It has no ratings yet, where ChatGPT Exporter and AI Exporter have thousands.
- Notion export or cloud sync. It writes files to your disk only. AI Exporter, YourAIScroll, AI Chat Backup and XWX export to Notion.
- Folders, prompts and search inside ChatGPT. Superpower for ChatGPT and AI Toolbox are workspaces; Backup My AI Chat is not.
- Firefox, Safari or a phone. It runs in desktop Chrome and Edge. AI Exporter and YourAIScroll have Firefox versions.
- More than seven services. See point 5 above.
Which one to choose
- You only use ChatGPT and export occasionally: ChatGPT Exporter.
- You use many AI sites, or keep notes in Notion: AI Exporter.
- You want to organise chats inside ChatGPT: Superpower for ChatGPT or AI Toolbox.
- You want an automatic history in the browser, including Chinese-language assistants: Chat Memo.
- You want every chat as a file in your own folder or Obsidian vault, kept up to date, with unmetered PDF and Word export and no account: Backup My AI Chat. See how to back up all your ChatGPT chats and how to save AI chats to Obsidian.
How this comparison was made
On 6 October 2026 we read each product's Chrome Web Store listing and its own website, including the pricing page where there was one, and recorded what they state. We did not install and test the other nine extensions, so this table compares published claims, not measured behaviour. Where a product's pages did not say something, the table says "not stated" and we did not guess.
