## What it is
DiscordChatExporter is an application that exports Discord message history from direct messages, group messages, and server channels to files in formats like HTML, JSON, TXT, and CSV. It ships as both a desktop GUI app and a CLI, with Docker images available.

## Use cases
- export discord channel history to html
- backup discord direct messages
- archive discord server chat logs
- save discord messages as json or csv
- bulk export discord channel messages via cli
- convert discord chat logs to readable files

## When to choose
- you need to archive or back up Discord conversations in a readable format
- you want both a GUI and scriptable CLI for exporting
- you need to preserve markdown, media, and rich content from Discord chats

## When to avoid
- you only want to automate a bot rather than export logs
- you cannot accept the risk of account bans from automating a user account against Discord TOS
- you need a live chat client rather than an export tool
