Carryover

Move from ChatGPT to Gemini

Gemini can import ChatGPT memory and chat history in many countries. Where it can't, or for chats you want as documents, export them here.

Or drag your ChatGPT or Claude export ZIP here. It's read on this device, nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Data controls › Export data and confirm. Download the ZIP from the email.
  2. Try Gemini's own import first: Settings & help › Import memory to Gemini, or upload the ZIP to its chat history import.
  3. Where that isn't available, open the ZIP above and export the chats you need as Markdown or Word, then upload them to Gemini or Google Drive.

Gemini's import, and its gaps

Google added two importers in 2026: a memory import that works with a pasted summary, and a chat history import that takes your ChatGPT ZIP. At launch they weren't offered in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, generated images and files aren't brought over, and imported chats may be used under Gemini's normal data policies.

Exporting through Carryover is the fallback that works everywhere, and it keeps your chats as files you control.

Questions

Does Gemini read Markdown files?

Yes. You can attach .md or .docx files to a Gemini chat or a Gem's knowledge.
