Learn how to install KoppyChats, save and export conversations, manage your local library, activate Pro, manage subscription access, and troubleshoot common browser issues.

KoppyChats is designed to be local-first. Saved chats and exported files are intended to stay on your device unless you choose to share, upload, publish, or store them somewhere else.

1. What KoppyChats does

KoppyChats helps you save, organize, and export ChatGPT conversations from your own browser.

Depending on your version and plan, KoppyChats may support exports such as HTML, print-friendly HTML, Markdown, TXT, DOCX, PDF, JSON, and ZIP or archive exports where available.

KoppyChats is useful when you want to keep a clean local record of important conversations, organize saved chats into a local library, or export chats into formats you can read, store, print, archive, or reuse.

2. Install KoppyChats

To start using KoppyChats:

  • Install the KoppyChats browser extension.
  • Open a supported ChatGPT conversation page.
  • Refresh any ChatGPT tabs that were already open before installation.
  • Open the KoppyChats extension from your browser toolbar.
  • Use the popup, floating save button, right-click menu, or keyboard shortcut to save or export a conversation.

If the extension does not appear after installation, check that it is enabled in your browser's extension manager.

3. Supported pages

KoppyChats is intended to work on supported ChatGPT pages, such as https://chatgpt.com/c/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

The extension reads the visible page content and page structure so it can perform user-requested actions such as saving a conversation, exporting a conversation, creating a downloadable file, creating a print-friendly file, or supporting right-click/context-menu actions.

KoppyChats is not designed for general browsing surveillance.

4. Ways to use KoppyChats

Extension popup: Open the KoppyChats popup from your browser toolbar. From there, you may be able to save or export the current conversation, open your local library, check your plan status, access settings, or manage Pro access.

Floating save button: On supported ChatGPT conversation pages, KoppyChats may show an in-page button that lets you save the current conversation to your local library.

Right-click menu: On supported pages, KoppyChats may add right-click actions such as saving a chat, exporting a chat, exporting JSON, opening local chats, or using selected-text actions where available.

Keyboard shortcut: KoppyChats may support a keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl + Shift + K, depending on your browser settings and whether the shortcut is enabled.

If the shortcut does not work, check your browser's extension shortcut settings. Another extension or browser command may already be using the same shortcut.

5. Saving conversations

When you save a conversation, KoppyChats stores it locally in your browser or browser profile.

Saved chat records may include:

  • chat title;
  • source page URL;
  • timestamp;
  • folder information;
  • saved conversation body;
  • export metadata;
  • local library metadata; and
  • other information needed to display and manage the saved chat.

Saved chats may be stored using browser storage such as chrome.storage.local and extension IndexedDB storage.

Because saved chats are local, they may not automatically follow you to another device unless a browser sync feature, export/import process, or future KoppyChats sync feature is available and enabled.

6. Exporting conversations

KoppyChats may support several export formats depending on your version and plan.

HTML: HTML is usually the best format when you want a readable copy that preserves more of the conversation structure.

Print-friendly HTML: Print-friendly HTML is useful when you want to print a conversation or create a cleaner PDF through your browser's print tools.

Markdown: Markdown is useful for writing workflows, notes, documentation, plain-text archives, and editing in Markdown-compatible apps.

TXT: TXT is useful for simple plain-text storage with minimal formatting.

DOCX: DOCX is useful when you want to open or edit the export in a word processor.

PDF: PDF is useful when you want a fixed document format for sharing, printing, or archiving.

JSON: JSON is useful for structured backups, data portability, and advanced workflows.

ZIP or archive exports: ZIP or archive exports may be available where supported by the current build. These are useful when exporting multiple items or packaging related export files together.

7. Exporting large conversations

Very long conversations, conversations with images, or conversations with complex formatting may take longer to process.

If an export is slow or fails:

  • Try HTML, Markdown, or TXT first.
  • Refresh the ChatGPT tab and try again.
  • Split very large conversations into smaller exports if practical.
  • Avoid switching tabs or closing the page while the export is processing.
  • Confirm that your browser has not blocked downloads.
8. Image handling in exports

Some ChatGPT conversations include images or media references.

When supported, KoppyChats may attempt to include images referenced in the active conversation. However, image handling can depend on browser security rules, third-party hosting, expired image links, permissions, and whether the image is still available when the export is created.

If images are missing from an export, try:

  • refreshing the conversation page;
  • exporting again;
  • using HTML or print-friendly HTML;
  • confirming the images are visible in the conversation before exporting; and
  • saving important images separately when needed.
9. Local library

The local library lets you view and manage chats saved in your browser.

Depending on your version and plan, the local library may support:

  • saved chat titles;
  • timestamps;
  • folders;
  • local organization;
  • reopening saved items;
  • exporting saved chats again;
  • deleting saved chats; and
  • importing or restoring supported archive data where available.

Local library data is stored in your browser or browser profile. If you clear browser storage, delete the browser profile, uninstall the extension in a way that removes data, switch devices, reset the browser, or run cleanup software, saved chats may be removed.

Export important chats as files if you need an extra backup.

10. Free vs. Pro

KoppyChats may offer both Free and Pro access.

Free: The Free plan may include basic saving and exporting features within the free-plan limits shown in the extension. Free limits may include monthly save limits, export limits, feature restrictions, or other usage limits shown in the product.

Pro: KoppyChats Pro is subscription-based. Pro features are available while your subscription is active, paid, and successfully verified.

Depending on the current version, Pro may include expanded save and export workflows, folders or organization tools, selected-chat or selected-text tools, font options for supported exports, batch or archive export features where available, higher usage limits, and other Pro-only tools shown inside the extension.

11. Activating Pro

After purchase, KoppyChats may activate Pro through your purchase email, a license key, subscription verification, access token, device activation, or another access method shown at checkout or in your confirmation email.

To activate Pro:

  • Open the KoppyChats extension.
  • Go to the license, subscription, or Pro access area.
  • Enter the purchase email and license key or access details exactly as provided.
  • Submit the activation request.
  • Refresh any open ChatGPT tabs if needed.

If activation succeeds, the extension should show Pro as active.

12. Managing your subscription

KoppyChats Pro is billed as a subscription through Stripe or another approved billing provider.

You may be able to manage your subscription through a billing portal provided by KoppyChats. Through the billing portal, you may be able to update payment details, view billing history, cancel your subscription, or manage renewal settings.

Cancelling your subscription stops future billing. It does not automatically refund previous payments unless required by law or approved under the Refund Policy.

Uninstalling the extension, deleting local data, removing a browser profile, deleting exported files, or stopping use of KoppyChats does not automatically cancel your subscription.

13. Device limits

KoppyChats Pro may include an activation limit, such as a maximum number of active devices.

If your device limit is reached, Pro activation may fail on a new device. You may need to remove an old device, reset activations, or contact support.

KoppyChats may allow device resets, replacements, or additional activations at its discretion.

14. Recovering Pro access

If you lose your license key, activation email, or Pro access details, use the recovery option if available.

Because KoppyChats may store license keys or access tokens securely rather than storing raw keys, recovery may issue a replacement key or access flow instead of resending the original key.

A replacement key or access token may disable the old key while keeping the subscription record connected to the same purchase where possible.

15. Privacy basics

KoppyChats is designed to keep saved conversations local to your browser unless you choose to export, share, upload, or publish them somewhere else.

KoppyChats subscription and license checks may send information needed to verify Pro access, such as:

  • purchase email;
  • subscription status;
  • license token or key;
  • device hash;
  • browser or device label;
  • extension version;
  • activation status; and
  • related access metadata.

KoppyChats is not designed to upload saved conversation bodies to the license server.

KoppyChats does not sell saved chat content, use saved chat content for advertising, or use saved chat content for model training.

16. Security tips

To keep your saved chats and exports safe:

  • keep your device secure;
  • protect your browser profile;
  • do not share your license key or Pro access details;
  • store exported files carefully;
  • avoid saving sensitive exports in public or shared folders;
  • back up important exports in a secure location; and
  • contact support quickly if you believe your subscription access or license key has been misused.
17. Troubleshooting

The extension does not detect the chat: Make sure you are on a supported ChatGPT conversation page. Then refresh the tab and try again. Some pages may not contain a full conversation or may use a page layout the extension cannot read.

Nothing happens from the popup: Make sure the active browser tab is a supported ChatGPT conversation page. Some actions are disabled outside supported pages. Refresh the page, reopen the popup, and try again.

The right-click menu is missing: Check that the extension is installed and enabled. Refresh the ChatGPT tab. Also check your browser's extension permissions and make sure KoppyChats is allowed to run on supported ChatGPT pages.

The keyboard shortcut does not work: Check your browser's extension shortcut settings. Another extension or browser command may already be using the same shortcut.

Export is slow: Very long conversations, conversations with images, or conversations with complex formatting may take longer to process. Try exporting as HTML, Markdown, or TXT first.

PDF or DOCX export looks different from the page: Some formatting may change when browser content is converted into PDF, DOCX, or other document formats. For the most complete visual export, try HTML or print-friendly HTML.

Images do not appear in the export: Some images may be hosted by third-party services, protected by browser rules, expired, blocked by permissions, or unavailable by the time the export is created. When supported, KoppyChats may attempt to include images referenced in the active conversation, but image handling can depend on browser security rules and third-party platform behavior.

Saved chats disappeared: Saved chats are stored locally in your browser or browser profile. Local data may be lost if you clear browser storage, delete the browser profile, uninstall the extension in a way that removes data, use a different browser profile, switch devices, reset the browser, or run cleanup software. Export important chats as files if you need an extra backup.

Pro was active, but now it is not: Pro access may need to be rechecked from time to time. Check that your subscription is still active, payment succeeded, the device limit has not been exceeded, your browser is online, the extension is up to date, you are using the same purchase email or access details, and your subscription was not cancelled, refunded, disputed, or charged back.

18. Refunds

KoppyChats may offer refunds under the Refund Policy.

Refunds are usually reviewed based on the refund window, the reason for the request, account activity, product usage, technical issues, and whether there is evidence of abuse, excessive activation, license sharing, fraud, chargeback abuse, or violation of the Terms of Service.

If a refund is approved, Pro access may be cancelled, revoked, disabled, or downgraded.

Before filing a chargeback, contact support so the issue can be reviewed directly.

19. Browser and platform limits

KoppyChats depends on browser APIs, extension permissions, Chrome Web Store rules, and the structure of supported ChatGPT pages.

If ChatGPT, OpenAI, Chrome, browser APIs, or browser store policies change, some features may temporarily stop working or require an extension update.

KoppyChats may attempt to update the extension when commercially reasonable, but third-party platform changes are outside KoppyChats' control.

20. Contact support

For help, email support@koppychats.com.

When contacting support, include your purchase email if the issue involves Pro, browser name and version, extension version, operating system, a short description of the issue, the action you were trying to perform, any error message you saw, and screenshots or screen recordings if you choose to provide them.

You do not need to send saved chat content unless you choose to provide it for troubleshooting.
