Export AI conversations to PDF

RecallBase opens the browser print/PDF save dialog for supported conversations. Free users get 3 opened PDF dialogs per local day with a compact footer; Pro removes the footer and limit.

Where to export PDF

PDF is available from the popup, floating button, right-click menu, and Export Studio.

    Popup: choose PDF from current-chat quick actions or from a saved chat detail page.

  2. 2

    Floating button: choose PDF while viewing the current chat.

Export to PDF

PDF export uses the browser’s print or save dialog. RecallBase theme and font controls affect the print layout. Final page size, margins, scale, and destination come from the browser dialog. See the Free and Pro limits in the capability table below.

  1. 1

    Choose PDF from the popup, floating button, right-click menu, or Export Studio.

  2. 2

    Wait for the browser print or PDF dialog.

  3. 3

    Choose Save as PDF if your browser asks for a destination.

  4. 4

    Save the file from the browser dialog, then check your Downloads folder or chosen folder.

What RecallBase cannot verify

Browsers do not expose whether the user completed or canceled the final PDF save dialog.

Best use cases for PDF

Use PDF when you need a stable visual record of a conversation, a file you can attach to an issue, or a document that looks the same for every reader. Use Markdown instead when you expect to edit, diff, quote, or feed the conversation into an agent workflow.
