Notes Migrator screenshot

A free, secure, browser-based tool to migrate your notes between popular services like Google Keep, Apple Notes, Evernote, and Notion. Also extracts text from PDF notes and converts them to the format of your choice. All processing happens entirely in your browser, ensuring your notes remain private.

Conversion matrix

Every supported source × target, in one place:

From ↓ / To → ENEX
(Apple Notes / Evernote)
Markdown
(Obsidian / Notion)
JSON (.json) PDF (.pdf)
Google Keep JSON / HTML
Notion (Markdown + CSV)
Evernote (.enex)
Markdown / Obsidian
JSON (raw)
PDF (.pdf)

Features

  • Privacy first. Runs entirely in your browser. Files are never uploaded to any server.
  • Six source formats, three output formats. See the matrix above.
  • Accurate timestamps. The note's own embedded date is used when available; falls back to the source file's last-modified date.
  • Drag-and-drop everything. Zips, folders, individual files. Recursive folder support; the tool picks the right files inside a Takeout archive automatically.
  • Resilient parsing. Unreadable or corrupted files are skipped with a clear toast notification; the run doesn't fail.
  • Apple Notes image support. Keep images are MD5-hashed and embedded as <resource> tags in the ENEX output.
  • PDF text extraction. Drop a .pdf; multi-page documents become one note with <h2>Page N</h2> per page. The 1.6 MB PDF parser is loaded on demand.
  • No installation. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. PWA-installable.
  • Dark / light theme. Respects your system preference with a manual override.

How to Use

1. Pick the format you want to convert to

Visit migrator.mgks.dev and choose the output format from the bottom dropdown. The on-screen guide updates with the export steps for your source app.

2. Export and drop

  • Google Keep: Google Takeout → deselect all → tick Keep → export → download the .zip.
  • Notion: Settings → Export all workspace content → Markdown & CSV → download.
  • Evernote: File → Export Notes → .enex.
  • Markdown / Obsidian vault: drag the folder or zip straight in.
  • PDF notes: just drop the .pdf files. Multi-page PDFs become one note with <h2>Page N</h2> per page; multi-file drops become multiple notes.

3. Convert and download

Drop your files in the upload area. The tool scans, detects the format, and shows your notes in a checklist. Select the ones you want, then click Download.

4. Import at the destination

  • Apple Notes (Mac): File → Import to Notes → pick the .enex.
  • Apple Notes (iOS): AirDrop or save the .enex to Files → tap → Share → Notes.
  • Obsidian: open the Markdown .zip, drop the extracted folder into your vault.
