What is Deep Research in ChatGPT?
Deep Research is a tool available in ChatGPT that helps users intercept complex topics through in-depth, multi-step research. It works by looking through many websites, collecting useful information, and putting it together in a clear, organized report. OpenAI already said that the work that can take you hours to do manually, Deep Research is so capable that it can do it in minutes.
What’s New – PDF Export Feature
Until now, users could only copy the text of a Deep Research report after it was generated. However, when you copy content, the formatting can get messed up when you paste it into Word or other tools. These formatting issues made the reports harder to read and not as nice to look at.
OpenAI addresses this issue and now includes a “ Download as PDF feature, preserving the original layout and design of the reports.
How to Download a PDF?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to saving your report:
- If you’ve generated a Deep Research report in ChatGPT, after that click the Share button in the top right corner.
- Choose ‘Download as PDF’ from the menu.
- The report will start downloading to your device as a PDF. Save it in the original format and layout.
Availability
OpenAI rolled out this functionality to all ChatGPT users — including those on the Free plan, as well as subscribers to Plus, Team, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans—as of May 17. This means you can now enjoy cleaner, shareable research output regardless of your subscription level.

This update is a great feature for anyone who can use Deep Research for any kind of informative, data-driven research. After the update, you will be able to download well-formatted PDFs directly from ChatGPT. This time-saving feature saves you time and makes it much easier to share or present your work.
