ChatGPT Conversation Viewer
The data export you can download from ChatGPT is a single, enormous JSON file — practically unreadable in a browser. This application unpacks it: it lists your conversations, renders them properly formatted, and lets you search inside them. Everything stays on your own machine.

What it is for
The data export you can request from ChatGPT is a ZIP file containing conversations.json, which holds every conversation you have ever had — raw and deeply nested, with attached images and audio recordings in separate folders. If you have been using the service for years, that file runs to tens of megabytes.
The application reads that file and shows it the way the conversation originally looked: prompt, answer, image, audio, one after the other. Your export stops being an archive and becomes a usable set of notes.
What it does
-
Your conversations, listed
Reads the conversations.json file of the export and lists every conversation with its title, identifier and date.
-
Several exports side by side
Treats each subfolder of the configured root folder as a separate backup, so you can step back to older exports from the drop-down.
-
Readable rendering
Converts the Markdown formatting of the answers to HTML, and shows user prompts and system messages set apart from the rest.
-
Images and audio embedded
Attached images, generated pictures and audio recordings belonging to a conversation are embedded directly into the page.
-
Search across the full content
Search is not limited to titles: as you type it also matches the body of the conversation, its identifier and its date.
-
Choose how it looks
Six ready-made style sheets to pick from (default, elegant, modern, neon, pastel, high contrast) — or point it at your own CSS file.
-
Nothing leaves your machine
No sign-in and no upload: conversations are loaded from the export folder on your own computer.
Technology
A WPF desktop application on .NET 8, built along MVVM lines: the UI binds to view models, and buttons run through commands (ICommand). Reading the large export file and pre-rendering the conversations happen on a background thread so the window never freezes.
Newtonsoft.Json handles the JSON, Markdig converts Markdown to HTML, and an embedded WebView2 browser engine displays the finished page. Settings (backup folder, file name, style sheet) live in the Windows registry. Distribution is an MSIX package through the Microsoft Store.
