Export AI conversations as images

Image export creates PNG snapshots for supported conversations. Free exports include a RecallBase watermark; Pro removes the image watermark.

RecallBase Export Studio showing selected messages and download, copy, and app actions.
Export Studio lets you review selected messages and choose PDF, Word, text, Markdown, image, Obsidian, or Notion.

Before you start

Image export is easiest in Export Studio because you can preview the capture before making the PNG. Use Copy Image when you want to paste the result directly into another app.

Where to export images

Image export is available from the popup, right-click menu, and Export Studio. The floating button does not show Image directly; use its Studio button first.

  1. 1

    Popup: choose Image or Copy Image for the current chat.

  2. 2

    Right-click menu: choose Export Image or Copy Image on a supported chat page.

  3. 3

    Export Studio: choose Image or Copy Image after previewing the chat or selected messages.

  4. 4

    Floating button: choose Studio, then choose Image or Copy Image.

Export PNG

PNG export renders the selected conversation preview in the browser. Very large captures may be blocked by memory, canvas, or clipboard limits before a file is created. See the Free and Pro limits in the capability table below.

  1. 1

    Open the popup, right-click menu, or Export Studio.

  2. 2

    Choose Image to download a PNG, or Copy Image to copy it to the clipboard.

  3. 3

    Select theme, font size, and width in Export Studio if needed.

  4. 4

    Open the PNG from your Downloads folder, or paste the copied image into your target app.

Size and clipboard limits

If the image is too large, reduce the capture size or use Markdown/PDF instead. Do not send sensitive chat screenshots to support.

When image export is appropriate

Image export is best for short visual snippets: a compact answer, a comparison, or a message group that needs to be pasted into a chat, slide, or issue. For long conversations, use Markdown or PDF instead. Large image captures can hit browser canvas, memory, or clipboard limits before a file is created.
