Why not just import the files?

Past the export limits

Evernote exports only from its desktop app, and only 100 hand-picked notes at a time. Export notebook by notebook, or your whole account with evernote-backup, and add every file at once.

Attachments that still show

Photos and PDFs land inside the notes they belong to, not in a folder nothing points to.

Made for the app you chose

A vault for Obsidian, files in import order for Apple Notes, big files and long notes handled for UpNote, plain files for everything else.

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

  1. Open Evernote and let it finish syncing.
  2. In the sidebar, right-click a notebook and choose Export notebook.
  3. Pick ENEX as the format, keep tags and dates ticked, and save.
  4. 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. After installing it, run:

  1. evernote-backup init-db to sign in
  2. evernote-backup sync to download
  3. evernote-backup export notes/ to write the files

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.
