How to export your Evernote notes
Evernote exports from its app on a Mac or Windows computer: a whole notebook, or up to 100 notes at a time, as ENEX, HTML or PDF. Choose ENEX to take your notes to another app.

Export a notebook as ENEX
In these steps, “here” means Import notes in ThreadPage.
- Open the Evernote app on a Mac or Windows computer. Evernote Web and the phone apps can’t export.
- In Notebooks, right-click a notebook, choose Export notebook…, select ENEX, then Export.
- Repeat for each notebook.
- Choose the .enex files here.

Which format to choose
- ENEX keeps each note with its formatting, checklists, tables, images, files, tags and dates. Other notes apps import it, ThreadPage among them.
- HTML makes one page with all the notes, or one page per note, to read in a browser. You pick which details to include, such as tags and dates.
- PDF makes one document of a note, a notebook or up to 100 notes, to print or keep. No notes app imports it back as notes.
Before you export
- Evernote can split a large export into ENEX files of 300 MB to 2 GB each.
- Stacks don’t come across: each notebook becomes its own folder.
- Decrypt encrypted text in Evernote first if you want to read it here: it arrives marked where it was.
- On the Free plan you can still export the notes you have.
Bring them into ThreadPage
Notebooks become folders, with each note’s text, formatting, checklists, tables, images, files, tags, dates and source address.
Stacks, reminders and note history stay behind, and encrypted text is marked where it was.
Your exported files are read in your browser and never sent to ThreadPage. With Sync on, the imported notes then sync to your account like any others.
Get your Evernote notes as Markdown
After the import, open Settings → Import & export, choose Export to other apps and then Markdown (.md). Each thread becomes a .md file in its folder, with its images and files beside it.
Both steps run in your browser, free and without an account.
Questions
Can I export from Evernote on my phone?
No. ENEX and HTML come only from the Evernote app on a Mac or Windows computer. On an iPhone, you can save a single note as a PDF.
Do tags and dates come across?
Yes. ENEX keeps both, and in ThreadPage each note sits on its own date, with its tags as #tags at the end.
Can I export everything at once?
Not in one step: export each notebook, or select up to 100 notes at a time. ThreadPage takes all the .enex files in one import.
Does exporting change my notes in Evernote?
No. Exporting makes a copy, and your notes stay in Evernote as they were.
Do I need a ThreadPage account?
No. The import works on Free, in your browser or in the app. With Plus or Pro and Sync on, the imported notes then sync to your account.
Evernote, Evernote Web, Mac, Windows, and iPhone are the names of their owners. ThreadPage is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Start with one thread.
Free in your browser. No account needed to start.
Project notes: one running log per project
Keep notes, tables and screenshots with each project. Before you switch, leave the next step in its thread. When you return, the context is there.
