10 Essential Chrome Extensions to Use ChatGPT

When using ChatGPT regularly, especially if you're using the free version, there are a few Chrome extensions that can significantly improve your experience. Here's a list of essential extensions for using ChatGPT, each of which addresses specific issues and increases productivity.

1. ChatGPT Widescreen Mode

Have you ever felt frustrated when ChatGPT responses get cut off, especially with long responses or code snippets? ChatGPT Widescreen Mode is a simple yet powerful extension that expands the ChatGPT interface.

When ChatGPT Widescreen Mode is enabled, the response interface takes up the entire width of the screen. This makes reading much easier and significantly reduces scrolling when reading long responses. It's lightweight, easy to use, free, and has no ads or bloatware!

2. GPT Search: Chat History

Without a search function, managing and finding specific past chats in ChatGPT can be a hassle. With the GPT Search: Chat History extension, you can find your past chats using the additional search function and keyword input.

Like ChatGPT Widescreen Mode, this extension integrates well with ChatGPT and is lightweight, easy to use, and ad-free. You can even adjust parameters for faster searching and tweak settings for a better experience.

3. ChatGPT File Uploader

The free version of ChatGPT has a file upload limit. If you are using the free plan of ChatGPT and find the file upload feature useful, then you will want to install ChatGPT File Uploader! This extension removes the file upload limit of ChatGPT by providing an alternative upload function. While there are a number of ways you can still upload files after the free upload limit on ChatGPT has been reached, ChatGPT File Uploader makes uploading much easier. With this extension, you can also upload a large file and automatically split it into smaller pieces, making uploading large files more reliable.

Again, ChatGPT File Uploader is free, ad-free, and bloatware-free. So if you are currently limited in your file uploads from ChatGPT and don't want to pay for a Plus account, give ChatGPT File Uploader a try.

4. ChatGPT Folders

Organization is key when managing multiple ChatGPT conversations, especially if you rely on the tool for multiple projects. This extension allows you to categorize and store reminders and conversations in easily accessible folders. It's perfect for those who need to keep their workflow in order and prefer a more structured approach when using ChatGPT.

5. Ask Screenshot for ChatGPT

Ask Screenshot for ChatGPT is a useful extension designed to enhance the way you interact with visual content online. It can take screenshots from your browser and integrates directly with ChatGPT. There are many ways you can use this tool to your advantage. For example, you can extract words from an image and copy them as plain text, take a screenshot and ask ChatGPT to explain something about the image. You can also take a screenshot of an entire page from your browser and ask it to summarize the information from the screenshot.

While attaching images on ChatGPT is not a new feature, Ask Screenshot for ChatGPT makes the process seamless and provides additional functionality not available in the regular file attachment feature.

6. WebChatGPT

In addition to file upload restrictions, free ChatGPT users also face restrictions on how many times they can access the Internet through the platform. This restriction can be especially frustrating for those who rely on real-time data and up-to-date information during their sessions. WebChatGPT changes this by allowing you to integrate real-time web search results into your ChatGPT queries.

WebChatGPT also comes with one-click prompts, allowing you to use the built-in prompts as well as create your own prompt templates. If you don't like the visual clutter from this feature, you can always disable the one-click prompts and just use WebChatGPT's web-accessible features.

7. StylerGPT

It's no secret that ChatGPT lacks any level of user interface customization. For many, the basic dark mode option simply doesn't offer enough flexibility to suit personal preferences or enhance their workflow. If you're someone who likes to customize their digital environment, StylerGPT is the perfect solution.

This extension allows you to customize your chat interface with a variety of layouts, backgrounds, colors, and fonts, making your time with ChatGPT more visually appealing and tailored to your taste. So, if you want to breathe life into the rather monotonous interface of ChatGPT, give StylerGPT a try!

8. SuperPower ChatGPT

Looking for a more powerful extension that provides many useful tools for ChatGPT? SuperPower ChatGPT is a multi-tool for ChatGPT users. It is a freemium extension for ChatGPT where you can create folders, search chats, create custom prompts, change the mode mid-chat, and export chats to multiple formats such as plain text, Markdown, and JSON. Pro users will have access to premium features such as notes, ChatGPT with voice, automatic folders, and advanced prompt management.

9. YouTube Summary with ChatGPT

If you watch a lot of YouTube videos and often need to summarize or extract key points, this extension is a game changer. YouTube Summary with ChatGPT is an extension developed to work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral AI. It provides quick summaries and transcripts of YouTube videos, saving you the time and effort of watching the entire video when you just need a summary.

Once installed, YouTube videos you visit will have a transcript and summary button in the lower right corner of the video. You can choose to display the summary directly below the video or send it to ChatGPT for further instructions.

10. AIPRM

If you're focused on prompting techniques and want a streamlined, no-frills tool, AIPRM is the best extension you'll find on the web. It offers a massive library of over 3,600 professional prompts, allowing you to create and manage your own prompt library. While it doesn't have the full suite of tools like SuperPower, it excels in prompt customization and community support, making AIPRM ideal for those with a specific focus.

These extensions combine to make using ChatGPT more efficient, fun, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need better text visibility, search capabilities, or simply more flexibility in your interactions, these tools have you covered.
