About Discord
Discord has no button to export a channel. DiscordChatExporter, a free open source tool, saves one as HTML, text, CSV or JSON, the JSON with every author, reply, reaction, attachment and call. Discord's own data package, asked for in its settings, is a ZIP with a folder of your messages for each channel you wrote in.
People save channels to keep a server's history before it's deleted, for moderation reports and for evidence. The JSON is thousands of lines of code, and a data package only holds what you wrote, each message on its own, with no one else's replies.
Filepeek reads the JSON into bubbles, each person in a color, with replies, reactions, edits, pins and calls, and a data package's channels side by side. Search counts every match, a date jumps to its day, Stats shows who wrote how much and when, and Export saves the chat as PDF, CSV or text. Attachments stay on Discord's servers unless the export downloaded them.

Questions
How do I export a Discord channel?
Discord itself can't. DiscordChatExporter, a free tool, saves a channel or a whole server, and its JSON opens here with every reply and reaction.
What's in Discord's data package?
Your own messages, in a folder for each channel or direct message you wrote in, beside your account's activity. Drop package.zip here and each channel opens as a conversation of your messages.
Why don't the pictures show?
An export keeps links to Discord's servers unless it downloads the media. Export again with Download assets on, then drop the folder so the files come with the JSON.
