What you get in OneNote
Written straight into OneNote through your Microsoft account. Nothing to download or import.
In OneNote
- Your notes written straight into OneNote, on every device you use it
- A new notebook called From Evernote: each stack a section group, each notebook a section
- Photos, files and checklists inside the pages, created dates kept
- Tags and the address of clipped pages at the top of each page
Finding them in OneNote
- 1Open OneNote on any device and find the notebook called From Evernote.
- 2Files too large for a OneNote page are in a download here, with a note on each page that had one.
The parts that usually go wrong, done
No importer to hunt for
Microsoft no longer offers its Evernote importer. We add the pages through your Microsoft account, so your notes show up in OneNote on every device you use it on.
Checklists stay checklists
Evernote checkboxes become OneNote to-do tags, ticked or not. Headings, tables, colours and links come along, and photos and PDFs sit in the page where they were.
Big libraries keep going
Microsoft limits how fast any app can add pages to OneNote. The move runs in the background, picks up where it left off, and emails you when the last note is in.
Pick what to bring
Browse your notebooks and notes like folders. Bring everything, a few notebooks, or single notes, and leave the rest behind.
See it before you convert
Open any note and preview how it will look in OneNote, attachments and checklists included.
Rather do it yourself? The free route is a community tool for Windows that needs both the Evernote and OneNote desktop apps, moves one notebook at a time, and can stop on a note it cannot read. It is fine for a few notebooks on a Windows PC.
How it works
- 1
Export from Evernote
In the Evernote desktop app, export each notebook as an .enex file. Many notebooks, or on Linux? The free tool evernote-backup exports them all at once, each stack in a folder of its own.
- 2
Add the files and pick
Add your .enex files, or evernote-backup's folder to keep your stacks. Browse notebooks and notes like folders, and preview how a note will look in OneNote. Tick whole notebooks or single notes, then press Convert.
- 3
Connect Microsoft, then open OneNote
Connect your Microsoft account and press Convert. Your notes appear in OneNote as they are written, and we email you when the last one is in.
The conversion runs in the cloud, so you can close the tab while it works. We cannot connect to your Evernote account: you add the files you exported, and nothing else is read.
First, get your notes out of Evernote
Evernote exports notes as .enex files, and only from its desktop app. Here is the route for each case.
With the desktop app
Evernote for Mac or Windows
- Open Evernote and let it finish syncing.
- In the sidebar, right-click a notebook and choose Export notebook.
- Pick ENEX as the format, keep tags and dates ticked, and save.
- Repeat for each notebook you want to bring.
Selecting notes by hand exports at most 100 at a time. Whole notebooks have no such limit, so export by notebook.
Many notebooks, or on Linux
evernote-backup, free and open source
A command-line tool for Mac, Windows and Linux that downloads your whole account and writes one .enex file per notebook, with each stack in a folder of its own. After installing it, run:
evernote-backup init-dbto sign inevernote-backup syncto downloadevernote-backup export notes/to write the files
Then add the whole notes folder, and your stacks come along.
It is not ours. Install steps are on its GitHub page.
Only on the web or your phone
Evernote Web and the phone apps
Neither can export. Install Evernote on a Mac or Windows computer, sign in, wait for your notes to sync, and export from there. No computer with either? evernote-backup signs in to your account itself and works on Linux too.
Step by step, with the details: how to export all your Evernote notes.
