How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a Discord Export from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your Markdown (.md) the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About Discord Export and Markdown (.md)

Discord Export, DiscordChatExporter JSON

DiscordChatExporter (Tyrrrz) is the de facto tool for exporting Discord channel/server logs to JSON, HTML, CSV, or plain text. JSON output is the most data-rich, full message structure with author, timestamp, content, attachments, reactions, mentions, embeds. Used by community moderators, OSINT researchers (Bellingcat publishes a guide), and Discord server admins archiving before deletion.

How to open

DiscordChatExporter for fresh exports. JSON files open in any editor; for human reading, convert to Markdown, PDF, or rendered HTML.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this Discord Chat → Markdown converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert Discord Export to Markdown (.md)?

Community moderation logs; OSINT investigations; archival of Discord servers. Documentation, READMEs, notes, blog posts. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, Markdown (.md) works in places where Discord Export doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a Discord Export file in the first place?

DiscordChatExporter for fresh exports. JSON files open in any editor; for human reading, convert to Markdown, PDF, or rendered HTML.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
