Save ChatGPT, Claude & web selections as clean PDFs — locally
Multi-select the blocks you need from AI chats and webpages. Export clean PDF or Markdown. Build a searchable library in your browser — no account, no cloud.
Also on Microsoft Edge Add-ons
The problem
AI chats and bookmarks bury the good parts
Native Print → PDF dumps sidebars and UI chrome. Full-chat exporters save everything. Bookmarks rot. You need the selections that matter — in a file you can keep.
Long ChatGPT / Claude threads
Useful answers and code get buried. Exporting the whole chat is noisy; copy-paste into docs is tedious and ugly.
Messy webpage PDFs
Browser print keeps ads, nav, and broken layouts. You want selected paragraphs and code blocks — not the chrome.
Nowhere searchable later
Downloads scatter across folders. Excerpt keeps clips in a local IndexedDB library you can full-text search offline.
Features
Built for selective AI export & clean web clips
ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini → clean PDF
Click the blocks you want from AI conversations. Export distraction-free PDF or Markdown — without the chat UI noise.
Multi-select web clipper
Select multiple paragraphs, headings, code, and images on any page. Skip sidebars and ads. One clean export.
Local searchable library
Clips stay in IndexedDB with full-text search, tags, and notes. Works offline. Free: 100 clips / 5 tags.
PDF & Markdown export
Arrange clips in preview, then export a readable PDF for annotation apps — or Markdown for Obsidian and notes tools.
Privacy by design
No login for the local library. No cloud sync yet. Your reading stays on your machine — a differentiator, not a slogan.
Pro backup import / export
Clearing browser site data wipes IndexedDB. Pro adds bulk backup so you can restore your library after a reset or new device.
How it works
Three steps from chat or page to PDF
Multi-select what matters
On ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any webpage, click the text blocks, code, or images you want — skip the rest.
Export clean PDF or Markdown
Preview, reorder, add notes and tags, then export a distraction-free PDF or Markdown file.
Search your local library
Clips stay in your browser. Full-text search finds them later — offline, no account.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Multi-select the answers, code, or turns you need from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar AI chats, then export a clean PDF or Markdown — without the full chat UI.
