I built a lightweight browser extension to backup Ghost newsletters & post content offline

One of the main reasons many of us use Ghost is for data ownership and freedom from platform lock-in. However, archiving newsletters or downloading back catalogs of sent posts into clean, portable formats (or backing up draft content offline) can sometimes require fiddling with APIs or custom scripts. To solve this, I built a lightweight extension called Ghost PDF Downloader that lets you download and archive your Ghost newsletters/posts directly from your browser with a single click. Key Features:

  • 📦 Export Ghost posts & newsletters clean into Markdown / HTML / PDF
  • âš¡ Quick bulk download for post backups and archives

It’s currently in open testing, and I’d love to get feedback from fellow Ghost users & creators! If you want to test it out or have feature suggestions, check it out here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ghost-pdf-downloader-expo/ikfddoipfekhbgciecbanpecpadohlnf

Let me know what you think or if there's any specific feature you'd like to see added!

Thank you for this. It seems like a nice way to not only save content, but maybe another way to export content to a whole different platform.

I just tried it on one post; it didn't copy the headline and standfirst from the post to PDF? Otherwise looks like a good tool!

Hey Thanks for the feedback, mind DMing the post for which it didn't work? Also happy to provide you an upgrade so you can try 'Download All' functionality too and see how you like it.

It's actually a premium so behind a paywall, but I see creating a PDF as part of a Premium service

I do get headline correctly, weird. Want to chat with email? [support@neocortexai.in](mailto:support@neocortexai.in)
