How do I share a ChatGPT conversation?

Use the built-in share option on the conversation to create a public link. For something that can't expire, export the conversation as a PDF and send the file; to hand it to another AI like Claude or Gemini, export it as Markdown and paste it there.

Why does my ChatGPT share link not work?

Shared links stop resolving when the underlying chat is deleted or the share link is revoked — and a private chat URL was never shareable in the first place. If the link must survive, share a file instead.

How do I share a ChatGPT conversation with Claude or Gemini?

Pasting the text is the reliable route — export the conversation as Markdown and paste it into the other model as context. Speaker labels and code blocks survive, so the receiving model reads it correctly.

Share a ChatGPT Conversation (2026)

A share link is fast — until it dies, or lands with someone who needed a file, or gets pasted into Claude where it does nothing. Match the method to the recipient.

Updated August 2026 · works with ChatGPT (chatgpt.com), Claude (claude.ai), and Gemini (gemini.google.com).

Pick by who's receiving it

Recipient	Best method	Catch
A person, casually	Built-in share link	Dies if the chat is deleted or the link revoked
A person, for keeps (boss, client, records)	PDF file	None — files don't expire
Another AI (Claude, Gemini)	Markdown, pasted as context	Pasting the text is far more reliable than hoping the model fetches a link

The share link: quick, but perishable

ChatGPT's share option creates a public link to a snapshot of the conversation. It's the right tool for "look at this" moments. Its limits are real, though: the link stops resolving if the underlying chat is deleted or the share is revoked, and it never opens someone else's private conversation. If the person might need it next month, don't rely on the link surviving.

For keeps: send a file

Export the conversation as a PDF and send that. It reads cleanly, prints cleanly, and doesn't depend on your ChatGPT account or link status. AI Chat Exporter produces it in one click from the open conversation — content is processed locally and not uploaded by the extension.
