Export from NotebookLM: notes, sources, mind maps and Studio artifacts

Gemini Notebook exports one thing at a time. Notes and reports go to Google Docs (and from there to PDF or Word), data tables to Google Sheets, and each Studio artifact has its own download: Audio and Video Overviews as media files, slide decks as PDF or PowerPoint, infographics as PNG, flashcards as CSV, mind maps as a downloadable file. There is no "export notebook" button. KastorFlow, a Chrome extension, lists every artifact across all your notebooks and downloads them one by one or all at once, free.

Gemini Notebook is NotebookLM's new name. Everything here works the same in both.

From Google's help pages Create & add notes, Create a notebook, Audio Overview, Video Overviews, Mind Maps, Slide Decks, Infographic and Flashcards or Quizzes, all read October 22, 2026. Edits in an exported Doc or Sheet don't sync back, and the notebook's sharing settings don't carry over. A notebook with a Play Books ebook as a source may not let you download its artifacts.

Notes to PDF

If the text is a chat answer, click Save to note first. Tables and inline citations are kept.
Hover over the note in the Sources panel, open More and choose Export to Docs. The note opens as a new Google Doc in a new tab.
In Google Docs, choose File › Download › PDF Document (.pdf). The same menu gives Word, Markdown, plain text and EPUB.

Slide decks skip the Docs step: their menu downloads a PDF directly.

Download your sources

Gemini Notebook has no download for a source. A source is a copy of what you added (Drive files stay synced copies), so the original is still where it came from: your computer, your Drive or the web page.
The text of every source, with KastorFlow: select sources in Organize → Sources, or open a notebook's Export, and download them as Markdown: one .md file per source in a ZIP, or one merged file. You preview the text before the download, and any source whose text can't be read is listed in the report, not skipped silently.

Google's side from its help page Add or discover new sources, read October 25, 2026. KastorFlow: free, 10 exports a day; Pro, no daily limit.

Everything at once with KastorFlow

Install KastorFlow and open its dashboard from the toolbar button.
Open Organize → Artifacts. It lists every Audio Overview, report, slide deck, mind map and other Studio result across all your notebooks, with search and tags.
Preview any of them, download one, or select several and download them together.

Artifacts come down in the formats Gemini Notebook produces: audio and video files, PDF or PPTX slides, PNG infographics, CSV flashcards.
Text artifacts and chat answers can also go out as Markdown: an Obsidian-ready ZIP, or straight into a vault folder when Obsidian is connected. NotebookLM and Obsidian
Flashcards can skip the CSV and go straight into an Anki deck (1 a month free; no limit on Pro). Flashcards to Anki
Free: browse, preview and download artifacts, one or all at once; export a notebook 10 times a day. Pro: no daily limit, and generate every Studio artifact for a notebook in one click. Plans

Audio Overviews as a podcast instead of files

If the point of downloading Audio Overviews is to listen on the move, skip the files: KastorFlow publishes them as episodes of your own podcast feed, which you add to any podcast app (Pro, 1,000 published minutes). Audio Overviews as a podcast

Questions

Can you export from NotebookLM?

Yes, one item at a time. Gemini Notebook, NotebookLM's new name, exports notes and reports to Google Docs, data tables to Google Sheets, and downloads Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, mind maps, slide decks (PDF or PowerPoint), infographics (PNG) and flashcards (CSV). There is no export of a whole notebook. KastorFlow, a Chrome extension, downloads every Studio artifact across notebooks at once.

How do I export NotebookLM notes to PDF?

Export the note to Google Docs from its More menu, then in Google Docs choose File, Download, PDF. Slide decks download as PDF directly from their menu.

Can I export a NotebookLM mind map?

Yes. Open the mind map and choose Download in the top right of the Mind Map window; Google's help page says you can share the downloaded file. Mind maps aren't available in the mobile app.

Is there a NotebookLM to PDF Chrome extension?

KastorFlow downloads Studio artifacts in the formats Gemini Notebook produces, including the PDF slide decks, one at a time or all at once, and exports text as Markdown for Obsidian. For a note as a PDF, Gemini Notebook's own Export to Docs followed by Google Docs' PDF download is the direct route.

Can I export a whole NotebookLM notebook?

Not natively. Your sources are files and links you already have; the notebook's own output is its notes and Studio artifacts, which export one by one in Gemini Notebook or together with KastorFlow (notebook export: 10 a day on KastorFlow's free plan).

Can I download sources from NotebookLM?

Not in Gemini Notebook: it has no download for a source, and the original stays wherever you added it from. KastorFlow, a Chrome extension, exports the text of a notebook's sources as Markdown files, one per source or merged into one. Download your sources
