How To Print A Discord Conversation
Yes. A Discord direct message or a whole server channel can be printed as a book. Discord has no button that saves both sides of a conversation, so it takes an export made on a computer, or screenshots.
Can I print a Discord conversation?
Yes. For a short exchange, screenshots are enough. For a whole direct message or channel, save it as a file first. read receipts sets it as pages, every message in order with each person's name beside what they wrote, and prints it as a paperback or a hardcover. You look through every page before anything prints.
Does Discord let you export a conversation?
Only your own half. On a computer, select the cogwheel, open Data & Privacy, and under Request your data select Request Data. On a phone, tap your avatar, then the cogwheel, then Data & Privacy, then Request all of my data. Discord says the request can take up to a month and that it emails you a download link.
Discord describes the messages folder in that package as the messages you have sent. The other person's replies are not part of that description, so the package alone does not make a conversation. Discord's steps are on its help page.
How do I save both sides of a Discord chat?
With DiscordChatExporter, a free program for a computer that is not made by Discord. It saves a direct message or a channel to a file, and JSON is the format we read.
Read its warning first. Its own page says that automating a personal account is against Discord's terms and may get the account banned, and that a bot should be used where possible. If you run the server, a bot you add to it is the route that page recommends. Screenshots carry no such risk.
How do screenshots work?
Open the conversation and scroll up to the first message you want. Take screenshots from there down, in order. After you choose your book, pick Screenshots, tick the box and upload them, up to 100, 20 at a time. They are read by Claude, Anthropic's model, only if you tick the box that says so, and we don't keep the screenshots.
For a longer conversation, contact us. A person on our team takes the screenshots by email, puts them in order and sets up your book with you, free. That person sees what you send. Screenshots rarely show every date.
Can I print a whole server channel?
Yes. A channel prints like any groupchat, with each person's name beside what they wrote. Every book includes 700 pages, and a longer channel carries on in a second volume. You can take messages out before anything prints.
Does the other person find out?
Only when you give it to them. Only one of you needs to do this, and we never contact anyone else in the conversation.
Their messages are in the book beside yours. When you order, you confirm that you're in the conversation and that the others in it would be happy to be in a printed book. The privacy policy says what we keep and for how long.
What does it cost?
The Unabridged, every message set as a novel, is $49 as a paperback and $89 as a hardcover. The digital edition is $19. US shipping is free.
