Export LinkedIn Chat extension — download a LinkedIn conversation with all images and files

How to export a LinkedIn chat

1. Install the free Export LinkedIn Chat with Images and Files Chrome extension.

2. Open any individual or group conversation in LinkedIn messaging.

3. Click Export — the full thread downloads to your device with every image, PDF, document, and video attached.

LinkedIn has no real one-click chat export of its own, so a browser extension is the practical way to export a LinkedIn chat with its media intact.

The Problem

LinkedIn gives you no real way to export your conversations

LinkedIn's built-in data download takes hours — sometimes longer — strips out context, and drops every image and file you've ever shared. You're left with a bare text dump that's missing half the conversation. There's no one-click button to download a LinkedIn chat the way you'd expect.

This extension does what LinkedIn won't. Open any LinkedIn chat, click export, and get everything: the full message thread with timestamps and sender names, plus every piece of media attached — images, PDFs, documents, and videos. Nothing gets left behind.

How to download your data from LinkedIn (and why it falls short)

LinkedIn does let you request a copy of your data, but it's slow and incomplete. Here's the native route:

  1. Open Settings & PrivacyClick your profile photo, then Settings & Privacy.
  2. Go to Data Privacy → Get a copy of your dataChoose the data you want, or request the full archive.
  3. Request the archive and waitLinkedIn emails you a download link once it's ready — this can take up to 24 hours or longer.
  4. Open the messages fileYour messages arrive as a CSV — plain text only, with no images, files, or formatting.

The catch: LinkedIn's data download is slow, returns a bare CSV, and leaves out every image and attachment. To export a LinkedIn chat with its media in one click, use the extension method above instead.
