How to Import into Magai

conversations.json

File Size Limit
Magai supports files up to 10MB
If your export is larger, you’ll need to split the file into smaller chunks
How to Split Large JSON Files:
Use a tool like jsonsplitter.com or merge-json-files.com to divide your file
If you're familiar with Python, you can use a simple script to break the file into smaller parts (we can provide this on request)
Make sure each file is under 10MB before uploading to Magai
Troubleshooting Common Issues
File Upload Fails or Chat Errors
Confirm you're uploading a
.json
file — not the full.zip
Check for any special characters or broken formatting inside the file
If your export file is corrupted or cut off, try re-downloading from ChatGPT or Claude
Chat List Doesn't Update
Refresh your browser or log out and back in
Wait a moment — large files may take time to fully appear
Nothing Happens After Upload
Try switching browsers (e.g., Chrome or Safari)
Disable browser extensions or VPNs that may interfere
Check your internet connection for interruptions
