Export Perplexity Conversations to Markdown

Perplexity answers are dense with citations and source links — the most valuable thing about them, and the first thing copy-paste destroys. Web2MD exports a Perplexity thread to Markdown with every citation kept as a real link, not a dangling number.

How to Export

  1. 1Install the Web2MD extension from the Chrome Web Store
  2. 2Open Perplexity (perplexity.ai) and select the conversation to export
  3. 3Click the Web2MD icon, switch to "Export Perplexity chats" mode
  4. 4Click "Download .md" — multi-turn `## User` / `## Assistant` structure, code blocks, and math are preserved
  5. 5(Optional) Use Queue mode (Pro) to add multiple conversations and merge the entire sidebar into one file

FAQ

Doesn't Perplexity already have an export feature?

Perplexity's official export (when it exists) ships either a JSON ZIP that isn't Markdown, or a public share URL that exposes private chats to the web. Web2MD reads the conversation page locally in your browser and emits clean Markdown with full multi-turn structure and code blocks preserved.

Why does copy-paste from Perplexity lose formatting?

Because you're copying rendered HTML, not the source Markdown. Code blocks lose their language tags, tables collapse into plain text, and LaTeX math renders as Unicode glyphs. Web2MD reads the DOM and re-emits proper Markdown — none of those losses happen.

Can I bulk-export my entire Perplexity history?

Single-conversation export is free, no signup. Bulk export (Queue mode) is Pro ($9/month) and works across ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Perplexity — it merges every queued conversation into one Markdown file. The 7-day Pro trial covers a one-time migration.

Can I drop the exported Markdown into another AI?

Yes. The export format is platform-neutral `## User` / `## Assistant` headings. It drops directly into a Claude Project, a ChatGPT Custom GPT, an Obsidian vault, or NotebookLM as a knowledge source.
