How DiscordSuite works

Short answerDiscordSuite is a Chrome extension that adds an export button for the Discord chat you have open. Install it, open a chat on discord.com, and click the icon. To export your first chat, follow How to export a Discord chat.

How do I install DiscordSuite?

  1. 1

    Open the DiscordSuite page on the Chrome Web Store.

  2. 2

    Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.

  3. 3

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome's toolbar and pin DiscordSuite.

  4. 4

    Open discord.com, sign in, and click into any channel, thread or DM. Click the DiscordSuite icon: the popup shows the channel and server name, so it's ready.

DiscordSuite is built for Google Chrome on a computer. Its screens appear in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French or German, picked from your browser's language.

How does DiscordSuite get my messages?

It asks Discord's API for the messages in the open chat, 100 at a time, using the session already signed in on that tab. It builds the file you picked (HTML, CSV, Excel, JSON or TXT) inside your browser, hands it to Chrome's downloader, and follows Discord's rate limits.

What permissions does it ask for?

Access to discord.com and Discord's media domains (cdn.discordapp.com, media.discordapp.net), plus Chrome's activeTab and scripting (read the session on the Discord tab), storage (license key, "only new messages" markers, bot token), downloads (save files) and offscreen (prepare large files).

What happens to my data?

  • Your Discord login stays in your browser. DiscordSuite uses the Discord session you already have open. It never asks for your password, and your login is never saved or sent anywhere except Discord.
  • Exports are built on your computer. Your messages are never uploaded to us.
  • The extension only sends your license key to our server. If you buy a license, Stripe or PayPal passes us your email so we can send you the key. Card details stay with Stripe or PayPal. We never receive your Discord login, messages or exports.
  • No analytics or tracking, in the extension or on the website.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Discord chat exporter extension work?

It requests the messages of the chat you have open from Discord's API using your signed-in session, then builds a file from them in your browser.

Do I need to keep the popup open while exporting?

No. Exports run in the extension's background, so you can close the popup. Closing Chrome itself stops the export. Reopen the popup to check progress or cancel.

Install once, then export from your toolbar
