How to export NotebookLM to HTML

NotebookLM was renamed Gemini Notebook in July 2026. Neither name exports HTML natively.

When you actually want HTML

Most export guides assume you want PDF or Word. HTML is the right format for a narrower but real set of jobs: publishing a summary to a web page or wiki, dropping content into a CMS, pasting into an email that has to keep its formatting and links, or feeding a static-site generator. In all of these, HTML goes in clean and styled; a PDF goes in as an attachment nobody opens, and pasted rich text arrives mangled.

The direct route: extension

The exporter extension lists HTML alongside PDF, Word and Markdown. It preserves the structure — headings, lists, tables — and, importantly, keeps NotebookLM's inline citations as actual hyperlinks rather than flattening them to plain text. That last part is the reason to use a proper exporter instead of copy-paste: the citations are the most valuable and most fragile thing in a NotebookLM answer.

The no-install route: via Markdown

1. Export the content to Markdown first — the Markdown guide covers the ways to do it.
2. Run the Markdown through any converter: Dillinger or StackEdit in the browser, pandoc input.md -o output.html on the command line, or your static-site generator's own build step.
3. The links and structure survive because Markdown carries them; the converter just re-encodes them as HTML tags.

Markdown-to-HTML is lossless for the things that matter here — headings, lists, tables, links — so the only reason to prefer the extension is skipping the extra hop, or wanting styled output rather than bare HTML.

People also ask

Does NotebookLM export to HTML?

Not natively. Use the exporter extension, which lists HTML among its formats and keeps citation links intact, or export to Markdown and convert that to HTML with any converter.

Will the citation links survive HTML export?

Through the extension, yes — inline citations stay as real hyperlinks. Through the Markdown route they survive too, because Markdown carries links and the converter preserves them.

What's the easiest HTML export without installing anything?

Export to Markdown, then paste it into a browser converter like Dillinger or StackEdit, or run pandoc. The structure and links carry over cleanly.
