How to move a ChatGPT conversation to Claude
Updated November 13, 2026
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini do not share chats with each other: there is no "send to Claude" button. To keep working in another AI you have to bring the conversation with you. Here are two ways to do it.
The manual way: copy and summarize
- Ask ChatGPT for a summary. Something like: "Summarize this conversation so another assistant can continue it: goal, decisions made, and what we were doing last."
- Copy the summary and your last messages. The summary keeps it short; the last messages keep the exact wording.
- Open Claude and start a new chat. Paste it with an instruction: "I'm continuing a conversation from ChatGPT. Pick up exactly where it left off."
- Re-upload files and images. Attachments do not travel with copied text.
It works, but it takes a few minutes and you lose detail if the summary is too short.
The one-click way: Chatrove
Chatrove is a free browser extension for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Open the panel (Alt + P), pick Continue in… and the AI you want. It copies the conversation, opens the other AI and pastes it with an instruction to pick up where you left off. Everything happens in your browser: nothing is sent to Chatrove's servers. The free plan includes 5 handoffs a month.
Which works better?
For a one-off move the manual method is fine. If you switch between AIs often, for example when you run out of messages, an extension saves the copy-paste and keeps the full text of the chat instead of a summary.
FAQ
Can I export a ChatGPT chat and import it into Claude?
Not directly. ChatGPT can export your data, but Claude has no import for it. The practical way is to paste the conversation, or a summary of it, into a new Claude chat.
Do images and files move too?
No. Only the text moves. Upload images and files again in the new AI.
Does it work the other way, from Claude or Gemini to ChatGPT?
Yes. The same steps work in any direction, and Chatrove supports ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini both ways.
What if the conversation is very long?
Paste a summary plus the last few messages. Chatrove does this for you: very long chats are shortened to the first message plus the most recent ones.
