Export your notes as Markdown, PDF or ZIP
Get one note out as Markdown or PDF, or all your notes at once.
In one sentence
Export a note as Markdown or PDF from the editor, or all your notes as a ZIP from Settings.
Export one note
Open the note and choose Markdown or PDF. The “Export” button appears at the top right on wide screens. On narrow screens or mobile, open the ⋮ menu.
- Markdown (.md) is a text file whose name and first heading use the note title.
- PDF (.pdf) provides a layout ready to share.
The file is generated on your device, but attachments may require a network connection. Unlock the note before exporting it. Exported files are readable outside Notance and need separate protection.
Export all your notes
In Settings > Backup, click “Create ZIP”. Markdown notes follow your folders. Check the result and the attachments you need. This ZIP is not a full account restore and cannot be imported back into the app as a whole.
The GDPR tab exports account data and preferences as JSON, without the notes.
