How do I import notes from Evernote?

Here is how to move your notes from Evernote into Notesnook.

Exporting your Evernote notebooks

::: info If you are tech savvy and know your way around a computer, you can use a tool like evernote-backup to quickly export all your Evernote notes as .ENEX files.

:::

  1. Open the Evernote desktop app — exporting is not possible from the Evernote web app — and go to {{notebooks}} in the side menu:
  2. Click the three dot button on each notebook and click Export Notebook
  3. Choose ENEX format then click {{export}}, and save it to your desired location. Repeat this for all the Notebooks you want to import into Notesnook.

Importing .ENEX files into Notesnook

Once you have the .enex files containing your Evernote notes, it is time to import them.

  1. Open the Notesnook app (web or desktop)
  2. Go to Settings > Import & export > Notesnook Importer and select Evernote from the list of apps.
  3. Drop (or select) the .enex files you exported earlier from Evernote, and click the "Start importing" button.
  4. Once the importing completes you should see all your notes in Notesnook. If you face any issues during importing, feel free to report them on GitHub.
