Export Your Entire Perplexity Chat History to Markdown
Perplexity answers depend on citations and source links, which copy-paste often destroys. Web2MD 2.0 bulk-exports all or selected conversations to Markdown while keeping each citation as a real link instead of a dangling number.
New: full-history export
Web2MD now loads your Perplexity conversation list directly — no need to queue chats one by one. Select all or filter the list, then export one .md with a table of contents or separate files organized by conversation date and source.

FAQ
Can I export my entire Perplexity chat history at once?
Yes. Web2MD 2.0 lists the Perplexity conversations available in your signed-in account, then lets you select all or only the chats you need. Download one merged .md with a table of contents or one file per conversation. Bulk history export requires Pro; the $15 30-Day Pro Pass includes it without automatic renewal.
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 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.
