Convert Evernote ENEX files to Markdown
Turn the .enex files you exported from Evernote into Markdown: one file per note, with its attachments, tags and the links between notes.
Your files never leave your computer: the conversion runs in this browser tab, and nothing is uploaded.
Convert your files
What you get
- A folder per notebook, with one .md file per note, named after its title.
- Attachments next to their notes, in a _resources folder, linked from the text.
- Links between notes rewritten to point at the right file, across every notebook you convert together.
- Tags, dates, the source address and the author as front matter; checklists and tasks as Markdown task lists.
- A conversion-warnings.txt that lists, note by note, anything that didn't convert cleanly.
How to get ENEX files out of Evernote
- Open Evernote's desktop app on a Mac or Windows computer. Evernote Web and the phone apps can't export.
- Select a notebook, right-click it and choose Export...
- Choose ENEX, leave every attribute ticked, and click Export.
- Repeat for each notebook, then choose all the files here at once, or the folder that holds them.
The full export guide covers the limits, large archives and what a file leaves out.
Big archives and the command line
A command-line version of the same converter, for archives of many gigabytes and repeated runs, comes out soon, with its source code under the MIT license.
Moving to LuniNote instead?
LuniNote is a notes app for people leaving Evernote. It imports your .enex files directly, notebooks, tags and links included, so you don't need Markdown first.
