Here's how to export a response from the Gemini app to Google Docs, and how to download all your Gemini chats. com and open the chat. Find the response you want to keep.

You must be signed in to export. Below the response, click Share & export, then Export to Docs. Gemini saves a new doc in Google Drive.

Google's help describes exporting one response at a time. Each export makes its own new doc. A response with a table has Export to Sheets, at the table's bottom right.

For an email, click Share & export, then Draft in Gmail. To get every chat, use Google Takeout. Deselect all, check My Activity, and choose All activity data included.

Deselect all again, and check Gemini Apps. Add Gemini too, if you want your Gems. Then pick a delivery method and click Create export.

The full tutorial has every step, and the fixes.

  1. Open the response you want to export

    Go to gemini.google.com and open the chat. Find the response you want to keep. You must be signed in to Gemini Apps to export.

  2. Click Share & export

    Below the response, click Share & export. A menu opens with the places you can send the response.

  3. Choose Export to Docs

    Click Export to Docs. Gemini saves a new doc in Google Drive. Open it from Drive, or from the link Gemini shows, and edit it like any other Google Doc.

  4. Repeat for other responses

    Export each response you need the same way. Each export makes its own new doc. Content you export is covered by the terms and policies of Google Docs.

  5. Send a table to Google Sheets, or a reply to Gmail

    If a response has a table, click Export to Sheets at the bottom right of the table. It saves a new spreadsheet in Drive. Tables with images can't be exported to Sheets. For an email, click Share & export, then Draft in Gmail, which needs a Gmail account.

  6. Download all your Gemini chats instead

    To get every chat, not one response, use Google Takeout. Go to takeout.google.com, deselect all, check My Activity, choose All activity data included, deselect all and check Gemini Apps. Check Gemini too if you want your Gems. Then pick a delivery method and click Create export. Most people get the link the same day.

If it doesn’t work

I don't see Export to Docs
You must be signed in to Gemini Apps. If you use a work or school Google Workspace account, your export options depend on availability and your admin's settings. Export options also vary by Gemini app.
Export to Sheets is missing
It only shows for responses that have a table. A table that contains images can't be exported to Sheets.
The Takeout file is missing my newest chats
Google says the file may not include changes made between your request and the moment the archive is created. Request a new export if you need the latest chats. Downloading does not delete anything from Google's servers.
