How to move your ChatGPT history to Gemini

Updated October 29, 2026

Quick answer

Gemini can import your ChatGPT history directly. To pick which chats to bring over, save each one as Markdown with the GPT Master Export button and attach it in a Gemini chat. For your full history, export your data in ChatGPT (Settings > Data controls > Export data) and download the ZIP from the email. Then open Gemini Settings > Import memory to Gemini and upload the ZIP under Import chats. The ZIP can be up to 5 GB. Import works on personal accounts for adults, and not in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK.

When you change assistants, your old conversations usually stay behind. Gemini now accepts the official ChatGPT export, so your history can move with you. The steps are short, but there is waiting on both sides. ChatGPT prepares the export in the background, and Gemini says processing can take up to a day. This page covers the Gemini app, not Workspace Gemini or the API.

  1. 1

    Request your ChatGPT export

    In ChatGPT, click your profile picture and open Settings > Data controls. Click Export data, then confirm the request.

  2. 2

    Download the ZIP from the email

    OpenAI emails a link that expires after 24 hours. Download the ZIP and leave it zipped, because Gemini asks for the .zip file itself.

  3. 3

    Upload it in Gemini

    Open gemini.google.com, click the gear at the bottom left, and choose Import memory to Gemini under Data & privacy. Scroll to Import chats, click Add, and select the ZIP.

  4. 4

    Wait, then check the sidebar

    Processing can take up to a day. Imported chats carry an icon, and you can delete one chat or the whole import later. Uploading again overwrites the earlier import.

  5. 5

    Pick which chats to bring over (optional)

    To pick which chats to bring over, save each one in ChatGPT with the GPT Master Export button, which downloads the open chat as Markdown with no email wait. Then attach it in a Gemini chat: click the plus, choose Upload files, and agree to the rights notice the first time. Gemini accepts the .md and reads it. The ZIP import above is the route for your full history.
