How to save console logs to file in Chrome

• 1 min read

Looking to save console logs to share with your developers?

The easy way is to use the Jam extension. In one click you get a link you can share that includes all the console logs & network requests your engineers need.

If you want to do it the old & manual way, here’s how in 4 steps:

1. Go to the page of your choice and open Developer Tools pressing on Control+Shift+I (for Windows & Linux) or Command+Option+I (for Mac).

2. The panel will open in either the ‘Console’ or ‘Elements’ tab.

3. Click on the ‘Console’ tab (Figure 1).

4. In the logs area, right-click and then press on ‘Save as’ to save to a file (Figure 2).

And if you prefer to have your console logs automatically saved for you, let Jam do it for you.
