Exporting notes ​

You can export some or all your notes as PDF, HTML, Markdown, Markdown + Frontmatter and Plain text files on all Notesnook apps. Notesnook is zero lock-in — your notes leave in open formats that any other app can read.

PDF is for one note at a time on desktop and web

On desktop and web, PDF is only offered when you export a single note — multi-select exports and "export all notes" produce a .zip in Markdown, Markdown + Frontmatter, HTML or plain text. To get a PDF of several notes there, export them one at a time, or print the note from the desktop app. On mobile, PDF is available for multi-select and "export all notes" as well.
