Paste a public link
Use a public /share/ URL from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok. Shortened Gemini links must
be expanded to the full gemini.google.com/share/... address.
From public AI chat link to searchable PDF.
Claude2PDF uses a small server-assisted extraction step, then performs parsing, preview and PDF export in your browser. Here is the exact path your conversation takes.

The flow
Four clear steps, no account required.
The product is designed around public share links. It does not sign into your AI accounts or attempt to access private conversations.
Fetch the public page
Your browser sends the URL to /api/extract. The server opens that already-public page with a
headless browser and returns the rendered HTML needed for conversion.
Normalize the conversation
In your browser, provider-specific parsers identify user and assistant turns, remove interface noise and build one consistent conversation model.
Preview and export
The document template is rendered locally in the browser. Download PDF uses the browser's print engine, producing selectable and searchable text.
Architecture
What touches the server—and what does not.
1Your browserSends only the
public share URL to the extraction endpoint.
2Extraction
serverTemporarily loads the public page. ChatGPT may require collecting virtualized turns
while scrolling.
3Browser parserReceives
page HTML, cleans it and keeps the normalized conversation in session storage for the current browser
session.
4Browser exportBuilds the
preview and invokes the browser print dialog. Claude2PDF does not upload a finished PDF.
Conversation storage
The application code does not intentionally save conversation content to a database. The extracted
conversation is placed in browser sessionStorage so the loading and preview pages can share
it, and is cleared when you start another conversion or when the browser session ends.
Known limits
Only public share pages are supported. Provider markup can change, very large chats can take longer, and some interactive attachments, media or provider-only widgets may not appear in the PDF.
