Overview & Getting Started

Grok to Obsidian and Html helps you preserve valuable Grok conversations as local files you fully control. Instead of losing useful answers in chat history, you can export them into a structured archive for Obsidian, browser reading, or offline storage.

What the extension does

• Exports Grok conversations as Markdown, HTML
• Supports one-click export for the current chat
• Supports batch download for multiple conversations
• Downloads generated images alongside the conversation
• Lets you preview exports and selectively keep only the messages you want

Why people use it

Build a local knowledge base

Markdown export makes it easy to move conversations into Obsidian, Logseq, or any markdown-friendly notes system.

Keep a browser-readable archive

HTML export is useful when you want a polished snapshot you can open later without importing into another app.

Back up important work

If you use Grok for research, coding, writing, or brainstorming, local exports give you a durable backup you can organize on your own device.
