Export Claude Conversations to Markdown
Claude has no export button. Copy-paste collapses code blocks and loses Artifacts. Web2MD reads claude.ai conversation pages and emits structured Markdown ready to drop into Claude Projects, Obsidian, or NotebookLM — including Artifacts as fenced code blocks.
How to Export
- 1Install the Web2MD extension from the Chrome Web Store
- 2Open Claude (claude.ai) and select the conversation to export
- 3Click the Web2MD icon, switch to "Export Claude chats" mode
- 4Click "Download .md" — multi-turn `## User` / `## Assistant` structure, code blocks, and math are preserved
- 5(Optional) Use Queue mode (Pro) to add multiple conversations and merge the entire sidebar into one file
Claude Export Notes
- •Preserves Artifacts as fenced code blocks
- •Works on Claude Code sessions and standalone Artifact pages, not just chats
- •Drop the .md straight into a Claude Project as knowledge
- •Works on long conversations where copy-paste runs out of clipboard memory
FAQ
Can Web2MD export a Claude Artifact?
Yes — both kinds. Artifacts inside a conversation come out as fenced code blocks with the surrounding turns intact. A standalone Artifact page (claude.ai/code/artifact/… or a public /artifacts/ link) also converts: Web2MD reads the rendered page in your browser and emits the artifact's source, which a server-side fetcher cannot do because that page ships empty and renders client-side.
Does it work on Claude Code sessions?
Yes. Claude Code sessions and Cowork sessions convert with the same `## User` / `## Assistant` structure as a normal chat, so a debugging session keeps its code fences and turn boundaries when you move it into Obsidian or feed it back to another model.
Why not just use Claude's share link?
A share link publishes the conversation to a public URL — fine for showing someone a result, wrong for archiving private work or migrating between tools. Web2MD converts locally in your browser, so nothing is published and the output is a file you own.
