# 📦 [FREE TOOL] PerplexPorter — Export Every Perplexity AI Conversation to Markdown + JSON Locally

_Free Chrome extension. Bypasses Perplexity’s 300-thread API ceiling, exports every convo as Markdown or JSON. Local-only._

**🎯 Perplexity tightened Pro limits → your years of research are hostage on their servers. PerplexPorter rescues all of it.**

> **🧠 Why bother — 30 sec**
>
> Perplexity hides every chat older than ~300 behind their API. You can’t see them, can’t export them through the UI, can’t get them back if your account dies. **Your research = locked.**
> 
> PerplexPorter cross-references 3 endpoints + DOM scraping to find EVERY thread you ever made — even archived ones — and ships them as clean files to your laptop.

> **🍿 What you get**
>
> | Loot | Plain English |
> | --- | --- |
> | 📤 Full convo export | Every thread, every message, every source link |
> | 📝 Markdown OR JSON | Markdown for reading, JSON for re-ingesting into another tool |
> | 🔁 **Delta export** | Already exported once? Next run only grabs NEW threads. Smart. |
> | 📜 Auto-scroll | Loads lazy-loaded old chats automatically before exporting |
> | 🩹 Self-healing | Closed the tab mid-export? Re-pings the script, picks up from where it stopped |
> | 🚫 Zero telemetry | Nothing leaves your browser. No analytics, no remote calls. |
> | ⚡ Non-blocking | Runs async, UI stays smooth, you can keep working |
> | 🎨 Premium UI | Glassmorphic dark theme, not the usual extension-store ugliness |

> **📥 Install — Chrome / Brave / Edge / Opera**
>
> Not in the Web Store (extensions like this rarely are). Manual install, 30 seconds:
> 
> 1. Clone or download the repo:
> 
> ```auto
> git clone https://github.com/HassanAliMAli/PerplexPorter.git
> 
> ```
> 
> (or download ZIP from GitHub → extract)  
> 2. Open `chrome://extensions/` in your browser  
> 3. Toggle **Developer Mode** (top-right)  
> 4. Click **Load unpacked** → pick the `PerplexPorter/` folder  
> 5. Pin it to your toolbar (puzzle icon → pin)

> **🎮 Use it — 60 seconds**
>
> 1. Go to [perplexity.ai/library](https://perplexity.ai/library)
> 2. _(Optional)_ click **Auto Scroll to Bottom** to load really old threads
> 3. Click the PerplexPorter icon → pick **Markdown** or **JSON**
> 4. Click **Export Visible Threads**
> 5. Browser auto-downloads everything
> 
> > 💡 **The delta export trick:** run it once → exports everything. Run it again next month → only NEW threads since last run. Build a complete archive over time, zero duplicates.

> **🎯 What to actually do with the export**
>
> | Play | Why it slaps |
> | --- | --- |
> | 🧠 Re-ingest into ChatGPT / Claude | JSON format = paste into any new AI for “continue where I left off” |
> | 📚 Personal RAG database | Feed all .md files into a local LLM (Ollama / LM Studio) → query your own brain |
> | 🔍 Obsidian / Notion import | Markdown drops straight into your second brain |
> | 📊 Audit your own AI usage | “What did I research the most this year?” — grep across all .md |
> | 🪦 Account-death insurance | Perplexity bans your account? Cancels their pro tier? You still own everything |
> | 🎓 Build a knowledge base | Years of research, now searchable locally with `grep` or any text indexer |

> **🛡️ Catch check**
>
> | Q | A |
> | --- | --- |
> | Free? | Yes. MIT licensed. |
> | Safe? | Open source, code auditable on GitHub. Zero external requests beyond Perplexity’s own API. |
> | Logs into Perplexity for me? | No — uses your already-logged-in session cookie. Only sends requests Perplexity is already expecting. |
> | Perplexity ban risk? | Throttled (100ms between requests). Acts like a normal user. Same risk as you scrolling fast. |
> | Works on other AIs? | No — Perplexity-specific. For ChatGPT exports use [the AI Chat Transfer thread](https://onehack.st/search?q=AI+chat+transfer). |
> | Pro plan needed? | Free Perplexity works too — exports whatever you have access to |
