Printing Conversations

Create a printed copy or PDF of your conversation with an AI agent.

How to Print a Conversation

  1. Open the conversation you want to print
  2. Look in the top navigation bar, to the right of the agent selector dropdown
  3. Click the Print button (it looks like a printer icon 🖨️)
  4. Your browser's print dialog will open
  5. Choose your printer or select Save as PDF
  6. Click Print or Save

Tip: The print button only appears when you have a conversation open. If you don't see it, make sure you've selected a chat session from the sidebar.

What Gets Printed

When you print a conversation, the output includes:

✅ Included in printout:

  • All your messages (questions and prompts)
  • All agent responses
  • Message formatting (bold, italics, headers, lists)
  • Tables
  • Code blocks (with syntax highlighting colors preserved)
  • Mathematical equations and formulas
  • Timestamps showing when each message was sent

❌ Not included in printout:

  • Navigation sidebar
  • Agent selector dropdown
  • Chat input box
  • Copy, Rate, and View Prompt buttons
  • File upload areas
  • Any attached files (these need to be downloaded separately)

Saving as PDF

Instead of printing to paper, you can save your conversation as a PDF file:

  1. Click the Print button in the navigation bar
  2. In the print dialog, look for the printer/destination selection
  3. Choose Save as PDF, Microsoft Print to PDF, or similar option
  4. Click Save or Print
  5. Choose where to save the PDF file on your computer
  6. Click Save

Where to Find "Save as PDF"

The option location varies by browser:

Browser Where to Find It
Chrome Destination dropdown → Select "Save as PDF"
Edge Printer dropdown → Select "Microsoft Print to PDF" or "Save as PDF"
Firefox Destination dropdown → Select "Save to PDF"
Safari PDF dropdown (bottom-left) → Select "Save as PDF"

Before printing, you can adjust settings in your browser's print dialog:

Page Layout

  • Portrait (default): Best for most conversations
  • Landscape: Useful if your conversation has wide tables or code blocks

Margins

  • Default/Normal: Recommended for most printouts
  • Minimum/None: Fits more content per page but may cut off edges

Scale

  • 100% (default): Normal size
  • Fit to page: Shrinks content if needed to fit the page width
  • Custom: Adjust percentage manually

Background Graphics

  • Enable this option to preserve message colors and code block backgrounds
  • Usually labeled "Background graphics" or "Print backgrounds"

Important: Enable "Background graphics" or "Print background colors" to keep the visual distinction between your messages and agent responses.

Tips for Better Printouts

Before Printing

  1. Scroll through the entire conversation first to ensure all messages have fully loaded
  2. Long conversations will span multiple pages automatically
  3. Code blocks print better in landscape orientation if they're wide

Choosing Paper Size

  • Letter (8.5" × 11") or A4: Standard choice for most printouts
  • Larger paper sizes work well for conversations with wide tables or code

For Professional Documents

If you're printing for a report or documentation:

  1. Save as PDF first
  2. Open the PDF and verify it looks correct
  3. Print from the PDF for consistent results

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you have a conversation open (not just the welcome screen)
  • The button appears next to the agent dropdown in the top navigation bar
  • Try refreshing the page if buttons aren't loading

Colors Not Printing

  1. In the print dialog, look for Background graphics or Print backgrounds
  2. Make sure this option is enabled/checked
  3. Some printers default to black and white—check your printer settings

Content Getting Cut Off

  • Try Landscape orientation for wide content
  • Reduce the Scale to 90% or 80%
  • Use Minimum margins if available
  • For code blocks, consider copying the code separately instead

Pages Are Blank or Missing Content

  • Wait for the conversation to fully load before printing
  • Scroll through the conversation to trigger loading of all messages
  • Try refreshing the page and printing again
  • Check if your browser is blocking pop-ups (the print dialog is a pop-up)

Mathematical Equations Look Wrong

Mathematical formulas should print correctly. If they appear broken:

  • Try using Chrome or Edge for better equation rendering
  • Save as PDF first, then print from the PDF
  • Check if your browser is blocking pop-ups for this site
  • Try the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac)
  • Make sure you clicked the print button and not another icon

Keyboard Shortcut

You can also use your browser's built-in print shortcut:

Operating System Shortcut
Windows Ctrl + P
Mac Cmd + P

This opens the same print dialog as clicking the print button.

Alternatives to Printing

If printing doesn't meet your needs, consider these options:

Need Alternative
Share specific responses Use the Copy button on individual messages
Save for later reference Save as PDF instead of printing
Include in a document Copy messages and paste into Word or Google Docs
Archive conversations Your conversations are automatically saved in the sidebar
