How it works

  1. Find the pages

    Search, pick a date range or add a filter like site:github.com. Or skip it to export everything.

  2. Click Export

    The export button sits in the toolbar. Its menu shows how many pages go into the file.

  3. Pick a format

    Download CSV, HTML or JSON. The file name carries today’s date.

In detail

What's inside each export

All three formats hold the same pages with the same details: title, address, site, last visit and visit count. Pick the one that suits where the file is going.

Export Chrome history to CSV for Excel and Sheets

The CSV file has a header row and one line per page. It is saved as UTF-8 with a byte-order mark, so accents and other scripts open correctly in Excel, and each line ends the way Windows expects.

  • Dates are ISO 8601 in UTC, so they sort correctly in any spreadsheet.
  • Titles with commas or quotes are wrapped in quotes, so columns never shift.
  • A cell that starts with =, +, - or @ gets a leading apostrophe, so a page title can’t run as a formula.

An HTML page you can search offline

The HTML file is a single page that opens in any browser, with no extension needed. It has its own search box, sortable columns and pages of 10, 25, 50 or 100 entries.

  • Sort by Title, Visits or Last visited. Newest is first when it opens.
  • Every address is a link you can click.
  • The heading carries the date you exported it.

JSON for your own scripts, and Cleanup exports

The JSON file is a neatly indented array with title, url, site, visitedAt and visits for every page, ready for jq, Python or a database import.

  • Every Cleanup group has its own export button, so you can keep a copy before deleting.
  • The export menu shows how many pages go into the file.
  • Files are named history-monk-history- plus today’s date.

What else it does

  • CSV for spreadsheets

    Opens in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets with five columns: Title, URL, Site, Last visited and Visits.

  • JSON for your scripts

    A clean array with title, url, site, visitedAt and visits for every page.

  • HTML to read offline

    One page you can open in any browser, with its own search box, sorting and paging.

FAQ

Questions about exporting history

How do I export my Chrome history to CSV?

Open History Monk, search or pick a date range, click the export button and choose Download CSV. The file goes to your Downloads folder, named with today's date.

Can I export only part of my history?

Yes. Export saves exactly what's on screen, so a search, a site: filter, a date range or a Cleanup group all work.

Is my history uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is created inside your browser and saved straight to your computer.
