I have 10+ messages on Discord

I either want an extension to save discord messages as pdf or one single screenshot.

OR

I want to know if there is a way to export certain messages on discord into pdf or jpg images.

Usecase: I ask doubts on Math discord servers, sometimes it can be concluded in one page (and I can screenshot it) and save it along with the question so I can have a look at it before exams. But some questions take longer discussions. Discord is chaotic and shi**y according to me. I want to have images or pdf locally. So, how would you go by doing this?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/discord-notebook/ This is a nice add-on which is available for Chrome too. But, it’s a pain in the jazz and it really isn’t better than a screenshot. I added it here coz I thought some of you might find this helpful.

I could have easily have done a long screenshot with Firefox’s screenshot application (in the browser), but discord website won’t let me scroll. If you guys can help me with the scroll thing then the problem is solved.

You don’t want to just save the text? It sounds like it’s just text information you want to save, so why not just save it into notes files, then you have the bonus of being able to search them

I am done! I could not find a valid solution, I am just going to include some filters in my ublock origin filters and do my screenshooting

    This isn’t as helpful, but I’ve taken advantage of a second monitor in cases like this. It’s vertical so I can usually grab a lot more in the single screenshot.

    You could temporarily flip your screen sideways if that helps, but again this is an annoying workaround to something that could have an easy solution

      Installation is pretty tiresome if you don’t have the packages you need to run it. I feel like Chrome extensions can get the job done relatively easily.

    Try the singlefile firefox addon. It will save the page to a single HTML file that you can open in other devices too. Usually you’ll be able to scroll back quite a few messages in the saved page. I think that depends on how much you scroll back to load them

      unfortunately, didn’t work for me. Singlefile is absolutely awesome, I use it for many things but singlefile ain’t for this :(

        May I ask what was the problem? A few weeks ago I tried to save messages this way, and (to my surprise) it worked fine.

          worked fine

          for normal html sites, it would just download the whole page, and it works here too. But it downloads the whole chat while I just want a copy of last ten messages

            I see, it downloads too much.

            You could try the "save selection function.
            Or with the “annotate and save page” function, if in the annotation editor tab you click “enable/disable removing of internal elements”, I think you could try deleting any messages that’s not needed.

    I’ve been resizing my webpage rendering view size in the Firefox web page view of Discord -> F12 on keyboard -> little phone icon in the title bar of the popup menu -> there’s a bar at the top of the screen with a full-view screenshot button and some display resolution settings. Make sure DPR is 1.
