How to Export All Chrome Tabs as a List (URLs & Titles)

You need every link from your current tab bar in one place — to paste into a status update, hand off to a teammate, or drop into a ticket. Bookmarking is overkill and Chrome doesn't have an "export" button. There's still a fast way to do it, built into Chrome, plus a better option if you want titles along with the links.

The native way: select all tabs, then "Copy links"

Chrome has shipped a bulk copy command for years, and most people never notice it because it's buried in a right-click menu.

1. Right-click any tab and choose Select all tabs (or press Ctrl+Shift+A / Cmd+Shift+A and select from there).
2. Right-click the now-highlighted selection.
3. Choose Copy links.

Chrome puts every selected tab's URL on your clipboard, one per line, as plain text. Paste it into a doc, an email, a Slack message, or a text file — no formatting, no extension, nothing to install.

Exporting only some tabs, not the whole window

You don't have to grab everything. Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and click individual tabs to build a custom selection, then right-click → Copy links the same way. This is the move when you only want the three research tabs, not the ten unrelated ones sitting next to them.

If you have multiple Chrome windows open, "Select all tabs" only selects tabs in the window you right-clicked in — tabs in other windows are left alone automatically, so you don't need to close anything first.

The limitation: URLs only, no titles

Chrome's "Copy links" gives you bare URLs — one link per line, no page titles attached. That's fine for a quick paste, but it's a problem if:

• You're exporting a dozen links and won't remember what half of them are from the URL alone.
• You want to hand the list to someone else and a wall of raw URLs isn't self-explanatory.
• You're archiving the list somewhere you'll search later, and a title is what you'll actually search for.

There's no native Chrome setting that adds titles to the copied list — you're stuck with URLs-only unless you reach for something else.

Getting titles and URLs together

If you need more than a raw link dump — titles attached, and a way to find that list again later instead of hunting through old chat messages — that's a job for a tab manager rather than the built-in copy command.

Amazing Tabs saves each tab with its title and URL together, and keeps the whole list searchable afterward:

• Save a tab or a whole window in one click, title and link stored side by side — not just a bare URL.
• Press ⌘K / Ctrl+K to search everything you've saved, so a list you exported weeks ago is still one keyword away.
• Share or revisit a saved session anytime, instead of copy-pasting a fresh link dump every time you need the same set of tabs again.
• Free for up to 100 saved links, so it costs nothing to try on your next big tab pile-up.

Need more than a URL dump next time? Add Amazing Tabs to Chrome — free, no signup. Save titles and links together, and search them back up whenever you need that list again.

Quick recap

• Right-click a tab → "Select all tabs" → right-click → "Copy links" exports every open tab's URL as plain text, no extension needed.
• Ctrl/Cmd-click individual tabs first if you only want some of them exported, not the whole window.
• "Select all tabs" only grabs the current window — other open Chrome windows aren't included.
• Native copy is URLs only — no titles, and nowhere to search the list back up later.
• For a titled, searchable export, a tab manager like Amazing Tabs saves title and URL together instead of a bare link dump.
