The answer

Partly, according to Anthropic's own pages.

Anthropic says Free, Pro, Max and Ultra users can export their data from Settings > Privacy on web or desktop, delivered by an emailed link that expires after 24 hours, but it names no file format.

The steps

How to do it in Claude

  1. 1.Open Claude on the web or in the desktop app. Export is not offered in the iPhone or Android apps.
  2. 2.Go to Settings > Privacy.
  3. 3.Click Export data.
  4. 4.Wait for an email with a download link, sent to your account's email address.
  5. 5.Download within 24 hours. After that the link stops working and you must ask again.
