DiscordChatExporter

Development of this project is entirely funded by the community. Consider donating to support!

DiscordChatExporter is an application that can be used to export message history from any Discord channel to a file. It works with direct messages, group messages, and server channels, and supports Discord's dialect of markdown as well as most other rich media features.

Warning

While DiscordChatExporter allows it, automating user accounts is against Discord TOS and may result in you getting banned. If possible, use a bot to export chat logs from accessible channels.
