discord-chat-exporter-2026-02

An export from DiscordChatExporter, a comprehensive DiscordChatExporter

Export methodology

This uses the version of DiscordChatExporter that existed at the top of the releases tab on GitHub around 2026 February. TODO: figure out version

This export used a command something like the following to try to get everything dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t xxx -o ~/DiscordChatExporter -f json --media --reuse-media --include-threads -c xxx

  • It uses export command and -c but it's the same for exportguild and -g
  • -f json so only the json export
  • --media download all media
  • --reuse-media not quite sure what this does because it puts it in a folder per channel...
  • --include-threads to get any threads

Manual edits

  • Lots of image replacing + placeholders
  • Had to rename the folders

Notes

The export format has files and folders with similar, information-dense names. I tried to preserve that as that's the only way to correlate between the folder and the file name

  • No exif on any media files
  • There's embeds, thumbnails in the example chat messages but I have no other specimen
