Robejazz 4 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hi All, I’m looking to import my notes that are currently in Obsidian into Evernote……. Anyone have a good workflow for this? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,085 Posted December 8, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hi. What export options does Obsidian have, and how many notes are involved? Link to comment
Robejazz 4 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Thanks for responding - All I see is Export to PDF... BUT, they are all already in Markdown Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,085 Posted December 8, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hmmn. You could export all to PDF and use an Import Folder to import the PDF files automatically. You'd lose the markdown (presumably) but retain the layout. The filename would be the note title. (-Always test any process on one or two notes before you go all in!) Don't know how Evernote deals with markdown content anyway - I applied a MD style (H6) to the paragraph above and this is what it looks like when pasted into Evernote as MD - Quote ###### Hmmn. You could export all to PDF and use an Import Folder to import the PDF files automatically. You'd lose the markdown (presumably) but retain the layout. (-Always test any process on one or two notes before you go all in!) A straight copy/ paste from the original format just comes up as plain text. Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,062 Posted December 8, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted December 8, 2023 Exporting from Obsidian, you would have to check how Obsidian works. We're Evernote users. Exporting PDFs from Evernote only contains the note text, not the attachments. I think I would take the route of exploring the markdown to ENEX converters that exist. A search via your favourite search engine will likely take you there. Alternatively markdown to HTML conversion might work well. Convert and drop the file into an Import Folder connected to Evernote. 3 Link to comment
Wanderling Reborn 186 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think HTML is your best option. Link to comment
Robejazz 4 Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Thank You. How do you import HTML into Evernote? That’s the hard part …. I want to go BACK to Evernote from obsidian Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,062 Posted December 13, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted December 13, 2023 Create a folder on your desktop and in the Evernote desktop app link it as an import folder. Place each HTML file in that folder and it will be imported. Be warned, though, images may not carry forward with the import. Link to comment
Jean-Christophe 26 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This thread could help : BTW, Evernote could offer an import tool. This would help migrations from other services. Obsidian has a great import tool, Notion too. Link to comment

Anyone have a good workflow for this? Coming back from Obsidian to Evernote: why would you do this? Did you get troubles with Obsidian? Doesn't Sync work fine? For me so far Obsidian seems to be a good approach to run from the current reliability issues I experience with Evernote. I mean: they decide to phase out the only working for me version (Legacy), they quasi shut down support, and more than double the price and all this at the same time! This does not look like a move that makes sense for a healthy company. So what solution did you end up using? Are you really back with Evernote? Did the important from Obsidian to Evernote work with notes with pictures and/or attachments? Any hints? Thanks Link to comment
mackid1993 1,329 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The most effective route is: https://github.com/karloskalcium/md2enex It's all CLI based, other than that there's no other import path besides attaching PDFs or copy/paste. Link to comment
jpservices 16 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Thanks. Do you know if this takes the embedded pictures? And the attached files? Link to comment

mackid1993 1,329 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Also .md files don't have embedded pictures or attached files. They have links to pictures and files in the filesystem. So probably not. They are plaintext not binary. Link to comment
