Changelog

Release notes and updates for Chat2File.

v2.8.8

2026-07-17

This release expands Chat2File to more use cases: Zhipu Qingyan is now officially supported, batch exports for Doubao conversations with hundreds of messages or multiple topics have been specifically strengthened, and the in-page tools and HTML exports are cleaner and more stable.

Highlights

  • New Zhipu Qingyan support: You can now use single-answer quick export and batch selection export on Zhipu Qingyan conversation pages. Prompts, answers, code blocks, tables, lists, and math formulas are organized and exported with their corresponding structure preserved.
  • Doubao conversations with hundreds of messages are no longer repeatedly rescanned: Batch export now validates scan results against the page's own message order, avoids content temporarily reused or reordered during scrolling, and selectively rescans missing positions to reduce timeouts and ordering errors.

Improvements

  • More stable extension UI: Stronger style isolation for in-page buttons, selection overlays, format panels, help, and loading hints reduces font, border, and layout issues caused by AI sites' own styles. The settings page is also clearer and easier to use at different widths.
  • Cleaner HTML export footer: The bottom separator and export date have been removed, leaving only essential source information for a lighter end to the document.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where separators, recommendation rows, and other contentless elements could prevent batch scanning from completing when a single Doubao conversation contained multiple topics.
  • Fixed an issue where web source labels in Zhipu Qingyan answers could be included in exported content.

v2.5.8

2026-07-10

This release focuses on the reliability of Doubao batch exports, improves how scan results from long conversations are used, and adapts to the new prompt structure.

Highlights

  • Previously scanned historical messages are no longer discarded by mistake: After scanning a Doubao long conversation from end to end, collected historical messages are retained for batch selection, avoiding a fallback to processing only currently visible content due to inaccurate scroll-range validation.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where some prompts on the new Doubao page could not be correctly detected, selected, or exported.

v2.5.2

2026-06-24

This release polishes PDF export and the extension entry experience. Batch PDF export now supports switchable layout templates, PDF documents are easier to read, archive, and print, and the settings center, popup, and in-page overlays have a cleaner visual hierarchy. It also fixes cases where ChatGPT formula exports could include icon-only buttons.

Highlights

  • Batch PDF template selection: The settings center can now switch batch PDFs between a structured notes layout and a chat-bubble layout. The first is better for polished reference material, while the second keeps the rhythm of a conversation log.
  • Better PDF reading experience: A4 margins, heading levels, body spacing, code blocks, quotes, tables, and math formulas have been refined so long exports are more compact, clearer, and easier to print.
  • Lighter extension entries: The popup, settings page, bottom-right floating entry, and selection bar now share a more consistent visual hierarchy, making common actions more direct with less in-page distraction.

Feature updates

  • New batch PDF template setting: Batch PDFs can use the default structured notes template or switch to a conversation template with user prompts shown as right-side bubbles. This setting only affects batch PDFs, not single-answer PDFs.
  • Common links in settings: The bottom of the settings page now includes privacy policy, terms, and co-creation plan entries for easier reference and feedback.
  • Clearer popup quick start: The supported sites area now works as a more direct quick-start launcher, so clicking a site icon opens the matching AI platform.

Improvements

  • More stable PDF layout: PDF page size, margins, heading pagination, code font size, quote spacing, and table rendering have been optimized to reduce oversized blanks, abrupt page breaks, and awkward table wrapping.
  • More focused settings page: Setting groups and helper copy have been tightened so batch PDFs, single-answer exports, and feedback support are easier to scan, including on mobile widths.
  • Quieter in-page overlays: Floating buttons, the selection bar, loading hints, and selected-message highlights now use more consistent shadow and state styles so they draw less attention inside chat pages.
  • Smoother feedback path: The co-creation plan now points more accurately to the extension store for the current browser, making it easier to suggest sites, formats, or experience improvements.

Fixes

  • Fixed cases where icon-only buttons after some ChatGPT block math formulas could be included in exported content.
  • Fixed cases where special characters in PDF document titles could affect the print page title.
  • Improved premature wrapping in PDF tables with Chinese text, emoji, or complex cell content.

v2.3.5

2026-06-12

This release focuses on the exported result itself. Word and Markdown export paths have been upgraded for more reliable structure preservation, batch export formats are now focused around common document types, and long Doubao conversations plus complex Gemini answers continue to receive better detection.

Highlights

  • Higher-quality Word exports: The Word generation path has been rebuilt so lists, tables, code blocks, quotes, and math formulas are restored more reliably in documents for formal notes, technical plans, and long answers.
  • Cleaner Markdown exports: The Markdown conversion flow now handles code languages, tables, inline code, images, underscores, and math formulas more consistently, making the output easier to copy, organize, and refine.
  • More focused batch export formats: Batch selection export now keeps common formats such as Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML, Jupyter Notebook, and JSON. PNG remains focused on single-answer quick export, reducing lag and failure risks from long-chat batch image exports.

Feature updates

  • Clearer export format choices: The batch export panel removes less-used and harder-to-stabilize EPUB and batch PNG entries, keeping common formats more concentrated and easier to choose.
  • Clearer single-answer image export: PNG is now focused on quick saving for a single AI answer, making it better for sharing one response, code explanation, or research summary.

Improvements

  • More complete Doubao long-chat scanning: Batch export preparation now covers the top, bottom, and middle of virtual lists more thoroughly, reducing missed historical messages and incomplete ordering in long conversations.
  • Cleaner Gemini complex content: Export cleanup now removes more Gemini wrapper layers, search image containers, table buttons, and unrelated helper text so documents stay closer to the main answer.
  • More stable Gemini formulas and code blocks: Standalone formulas in lists, code block languages, table structure, and blank-line handling have been adapted to reduce misaligned formatting, empty paragraphs, and missing content in Word or Markdown exports.
  • More focused single-answer PNG layout: Image export layout is now centered around a single answer, reducing leftover multi-turn conversation styling for cleaner quick-save images.

Fixes

  • Fixed cases where some historical messages in Doubao batch exports were not scanned completely.
  • Fixed unnatural placement or affected numbering for some Gemini list formulas after export.
  • Improved structure preservation for Gemini tables, code blocks, and math formulas in Word and Markdown exports.
  • Fixed leftover styles or copy for formats that are no longer available in the batch export panel.

Highlights

  • New Kimi support: You can now use Chat2File on Kimi conversation pages, with both single-answer quick export and batch selection export.
  • Smoother long-chat preparation: Batch export pre-scanning for ChatGPT and Doubao has been refined again, making the wait and content preparation before selection mode more stable so long-chat cleanup is interrupted less often by loading.

Feature updates

  • Kimi export adaptation: Kimi answer bodies, tool calls, citation markers, tables, code blocks, math formulas, and Mermaid content now receive cleanup and structure preservation for technical answers, research summaries, and long-form content.

Improvements

  • More complete ChatGPT batch-export preparation: Long conversations are scanned and prepared more reliably before entering selection mode, especially for saving longer continuous Q&A threads.
  • More efficient Doubao long-chat scanning: Virtual-list preloading and scroll-scanning strategies have been optimized, reducing the wait when long chats enter selection mode.
  • More consistent Mermaid exports: Mermaid content in ChatGPT preview mode is switched to a readable code view whenever possible before export, reducing missing chart source and inconsistent output.

Fixes

  • Fixed cases where some Mermaid content in ChatGPT batch exports was not fully prepared in code view.
  • Improved compatibility between new and old Doubao page structures to reduce selection-mode issues after page updates.
  • Fixed incomplete export adaptation for some content on the new Gemini page.
  • Improved cases where multi-line math formulas in Doubao could be lost during export.
  • Fixed a case where exporting extremely long PNG images could freeze the page.

v2.1.5

2026-05-24

This release expands Chat2File's platform coverage with Qianwen support, including adaptations for Qianwen's main content structure, code blocks, tables, lists, and math formulas so more AI conversations can move directly into Chat2File's selection and export flow.

Highlights

  • New Qianwen support: You can now use Chat2File on Qianwen conversation pages, select prompts and answers, and export them to common document, image, and structured formats.

Feature updates

v2.0.0

2026-05-15

This release focuses on making exports more usable, long conversations more complete, and export paths more flexible, with stronger prompt-only export flows plus more reliable handling for Doubao long chats, standard PNG long images, and multi-format output stability.

Highlights

  • New "Select all prompts": After entering multi-select export, you can now select only your own prompts with one click, making it much easier to collect prompt sets, review question paths, or isolate requirement drafts and follow-up questions.
  • More complete Doubao long-chat export: Doubao's virtual list and history loading behavior has been strengthened again, so selection mode can cover long conversations more reliably with fewer missed messages, incomplete exports, or unstable ordering.
  • Standard PNG long images are better for polished content: Image export now uses a more unified layout and visual style, with improved text clarity, quote spacing, and overall readability for proposals, study notes, and technical answers.

Feature updates

  • Clearer prompt-only exports: When you export only prompt content, the output stays more focused on the questions themselves, which makes it easier to feed them into other AI tools, turn them into reusable prompt templates, or refine them into requirement drafts.
  • More focused image export experience: Image export is now streamlined around a more stable standard PNG long-image style, reducing variation between image modes and making exported results more consistent for reading and sharing.

Currently supported

  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • Doubao
  • Tencent Yuanbao
  • Grok
  • ERNIE Bot

Improvements

  • More consistent filenames: Export filenames are now generated more reliably from the current conversation title, reducing naming inconsistencies caused by different site title patterns.
  • Cleaner user messages: Plain-text cleanup for prompt content has been unified, so exports are less likely to include leftover page styles or unrelated helper content.
  • Smoother format selection: The batch export format entry and the "More formats" area are now more consistent in both Chinese and English, which makes repeated exports easier to follow and reduces button-label confusion.
  • More unified export overlays: The export panel, helper overlays, and related UI now share a more consistent visual style, making common actions feel more coherent overall.

Fixes

  • Fixed unstable line breaks and syntax highlight structure in some ChatGPT code block exports, making technical content more reliable.

  • Fixed occasional extra horizontal scrollbars appearing to the right of math formulas in HTML exports.
  • Fixed abnormal colors in some prompt areas and unnatural bottom spacing on quote blocks in PDF exports.
  • Improved weak Chinese text clarity and oversized quote-block bottom spacing in standard PNG exports for tighter long-image reading.

v1.5.0

2026-05-06

Chat2File v1.5.0 is built for saving valuable AI answers while you read: it adds Wenxin Yiyan support, single-answer quick export, and more detailed export preferences.

Highlights

  • Wenxin Yiyan support: You can now use Chat2File on Wenxin Yiyan conversation pages and export selected content to common document, image, or structured formats.
  • Single-answer quick export: Longer AI answers can now show a quick export button directly on the page, so you can save the current answer without entering multi-select mode first.
  • New settings center: Manage the interface language, single-answer export entry, display threshold, and quick export format order in one place.

Feature updates

  • Wenxin Yiyan export adaptation: Message structure, code blocks, tables, lists, and math formulas on Wenxin Yiyan are handled more carefully to reduce page buttons, toolbars, and other unrelated UI in exports.
  • Faster access to common formats: Single-answer export supports Word, PDF, Markdown, PNG, HTML, and JSON by default, making it easier to save one answer, code snippet, proposal, or research summary.

Currently supported

  • ChatGPT

  • Tencent Yuanbao
  • Grok
  • ERNIE Bot

Improvements

  • More complete bottom-right entry: The floating entry now brings export, settings, and help together for more focused access to common actions.
  • Less intrusive quick buttons: Single-answer export buttons appear based on answer length, and short content does not show quick buttons by default.
  • Steadier selection mode: Single-answer quick buttons pause while multi-select export is active, reducing interference between buttons and checkboxes.
  • More consistent filenames: Export filenames are extracted more reliably from the current page title, reducing naming differences caused by site suffixes or unusual titles.

Fixes

  • Fixed unstable line breaks or highlight structure in some ChatGPT code block exports.
  • Improved Gemini user prompt detection to reduce unrelated helper text in exports.
  • Improved cleanup of blank-only lines in HTML export while avoiding accidental removal of whitespace-sensitive code blocks and tables.

v1.2.0

2026-05-01

Chat2File v1.2.0 focuses on broader platform coverage, more reliable exports, and a clearer getting-started flow, with Grok support, stronger Doubao long-chat export, and a refreshed entry, help, and multi-format export experience.

Highlights

  • New Grok support: You can now use Chat2File directly on Grok conversation pages and export selected messages to Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML, JSON, Jupyter Notebook, EPUB, PNG, creative posters, and more.
  • More complete Doubao long-chat export: Before entering selection mode on Doubao, the extension now tries to load more history first, which reduces cases where only messages near the current viewport are detected.
  • New popup launcher: Click the Chat2File icon in your browser toolbar to open supported sites such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Doubao, Tencent Yuanbao, and Grok directly, and switch the UI language between Chinese and English.

Feature updates

  • Supported platform update: The main extension now supports ChatGPT, Gemini, Doubao, Tencent Yuanbao, and Grok.
  • Clearer format selection: Common export formats such as Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML, Jupyter Notebook, and JSON now appear first, while PNG, creative posters, EPUB, and similar options are grouped under "More formats" for a more focused selection flow.
  • Redesigned help panel: The in-page help area now provides a simpler onboarding guide with three steps: enter selection mode, choose messages, and pick an export format, while also showing the currently supported AI sites.
  • Saved language preference: Both the popup and the in-page extension UI support Chinese and English, and your language choice is saved locally and reused automatically the next time you open the extension.

Currently supported

  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • Doubao
  • Tencent Yuanbao
  • Grok

Improvements

  • More stable content detection: Message parsing across different AI sites has been improved so exports preserve code blocks, tables, quotes, lists, and math content more reliably.
  • Friendlier technical exports: Code snippets, Mermaid diagrams, math formulas, and similar technical content from ChatGPT and Grok are handled more carefully, reducing stray web UI buttons, leftover styles, or missing content after export.
  • More reliable selection mode: When a chat page updates dynamically or its URL changes, the selection state now refreshes or exits automatically, which reduces old selection state leaking into a new conversation.
  • More reliable standard PNG export: Standard image export now uses a consistent light long-image style and improved sizing and scroll-expansion logic, which lowers the chance of lag or export failures on long content.
