Installation

Install from the Chrome Web Store

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing.
2. Click Add to Chrome.
3. Confirm the installation.
4. Pin the extension so the popup is always one click away.

Supported browsers

The extension is designed for Chromium-based browsers:

• Chrome
• Edge
• Brave
• Opera

Firefox and Safari are not supported because this workflow depends on Chrome extension APIs used for PDF generation.

Permissions you will see

The current build requests these main permissions:

• debugger
• downloads
• storage
• access to https://gemini.google.com/*
• access to Gemini image hosts used when exported image data is available

Why the debugger permission is required

The PDF export flow uses Chrome’s printing pipeline through the browser debugger API. That is why Chrome may show a debugging notification while the PDF is being generated. This is expected and is part of how the extension creates the file locally.

Before your first export

The extension works best if you prepare the Gemini tab correctly:

1. Open an actual Gemini conversation, not just a blank homepage.
2. Wait until the conversation is fully visible.
3. If the popup says it cannot find credentials for the current account slot, refresh the Gemini tab once and reopen the extension.

This refresh step matters because the extension needs the current Gemini account context before it can fetch conversation data for popup export, Custom Preview, or batch export.

First-time checks in the popup

When you open the popup for the first time, review these settings:

• Download directory
• Filename pattern
• PDF message style
• Export color theme
• Whether to create Gem subfolders

Free plan and subscription

• Free plan: up to 5 exports per day
• Paid access: removes the daily export cap

The popup and options page both show subscription status, and the extension also supports account-based or email-based activation flows.
