| Content type | Support | Export result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulk and batch export | Core feature | Selected records or complete Perplexity history exported as local Markdown files | Use All Threads, Computer Tasks, or one or multiple Spaces with date filtering, incremental skip logic, progress, cancellation, and export history. |
| Standard /search/ conversations | Full | Markdown with optional YAML, Sources, Related Questions, uploaded files, and generated images | Supported by current-thread, opened-tabs, Custom Preview, inline selective, and bulk workflows, with workflow-specific limits. |
| Perplexity Computer Tasks | Full | Task content exported as Markdown | Supported from the popup and the Computer Tasks source on the Batch Export page. Inline selective checkboxes are limited to /search/ pages. |
| Perplexity Spaces | Full | One or multiple Spaces can be exported and optionally organized into Space subdirectories | Selecting all Spaces uses the all-Spaces bulk workflow. |
| Sources and Related Questions | Configurable | Both sections are included or hidden together | The current v3.1 interface exposes one combined toggle rather than separate controls. |
| Uploaded files and generated images | Workflow dependent | Standard current-thread, opened-tabs, and bulk exports can save companion files under attachments/ and images/ | Custom Preview and inline selective export create Markdown but do not run the companion-file downloader. |
| Embedded Perplexity documents | Embedded | Document content appears under Attached Documents in the Markdown note | It is not necessarily downloaded as a separate source file. |

Use Bulk Export for complete history or smaller selected batches, with progress, cancellation, and export history.
Keep every project organized by Space
Export one or multiple Perplexity Spaces and automatically group their Markdown notes into matching folders.

Copy or export selected Q&A pairs, or use Custom Export Preview to keep only the prompts and responses that matter.
Preserve sources and answer formatting
Retain Sources, Related Questions, tables, code blocks, headings, lists, links, and other useful Markdown structure.
Download research files and generated images
Standard exports can save supported uploads and generated images beside the Markdown, helping you keep the full research context.
Run faster incremental backups
Filter by recent activity and skip unchanged conversations so recurring Perplexity backups take less time.
Use Markdown beyond Obsidian
Your exported notes remain portable and can also be opened in Logseq, VS Code, Notion imports, and other Markdown tools.
Known limits
Export boundaries and fixes
Clear limits build trust. These are the cases to check before running large exports.
Choose the complete export flow for research assets
Custom Preview and inline selection are designed for focused Markdown notes.
Use current-thread, opened-tabs, or Batch Export when uploaded files and generated images should be downloaded too.
Large Perplexity backups may need smaller runs
Perplexity can temporarily slow or limit a large export.
Keep the recommended delay, export smaller groups, and continue later if Perplexity asks you to wait.
Free usage allowance
The free plan includes a starter allowance so you can test individual and batch export workflows before upgrading.
Activate a subscription when you need unrestricted batch exports for larger backups.
