Convert Evernote to Markdown

Turn an Evernote .enex export into Markdown, one section per note in file order, keeping titles, body formatting, dates, and tags. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

  • Always free

Converting Evernote to Markdown turns an .enex export into a single Markdown document, one section for each note. iLoveMD reads the export entirely in your browser: drop a .enex file and it takes each note's title, body, created date, and tags and writes them as Markdown, keeping headings, lists, tables, links, and checkboxes. Attached files are left out and inline images become their description text, so nothing is fetched from the network. Because the export is parsed locally in JavaScript, your file is never uploaded to a server, it works offline once the page has loaded, and there is no sign-up or tracking. Copy the Markdown to your clipboard or download it as a .md file, ready to move your notes into another app, an Obsidian vault, or an LLM. Password-encrypted passages cannot be read and are left out.

Evernote to Markdown Docs

An Evernote export (.enex) is a single XML file holding one or more notes, each with a title, formatted body, creation date, and tags. This tool reads the export in your browser and turns every note into a Markdown section, in the order they appear in the file. Nothing is uploaded.

What gets converted

  • Each note becomes a section, with its title as a heading, in the order it appears in the export.
  • The note body keeps its structure: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and basic formatting.
  • Created date and tags are added as a short line under each note title, so you keep that context.
  • Checkboxes (Evernote to-dos) are kept as checked or unchecked markers in the text.

Good to know notes

  • One file in, one file out. An export with many notes becomes a single Markdown document you can split later if you want.
  • Notes stay in file order, matching how Evernote wrote them into the export.
  • A note that will not convert is skipped with a short marker, so one bad note never breaks the rest of the file.
Tip: in Evernote, choose File then Export Notes and pick the .enex format. You can export a single note, a notebook, or a selection.

Limits & privacy

  • Text only. Attached images and files inside a note are left out; an inline image becomes its description text where one exists.
  • Encrypted text is skipped. A note section locked with an Evernote password cannot be read and is left out.
  • Nothing is fetched. The tool does not follow links or load images referenced inside a note, so a note cannot quietly call out to the network.
  • Privacy: the export is read and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep my note formatting?

Yes. Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and basic text formatting are carried into Markdown. Each note becomes its own section with its title as a heading.

Are my dates and tags included?

Yes. The created date and any tags appear on a short line under each note's title, so you keep that context alongside the text.

What happens to attachments and images?

The text is converted; attached files and images are left out. An inline image becomes its description text where the note provides one.

Can it read encrypted notes?

No. A passage locked with an Evernote password cannot be read, so it is left out of the Markdown. The rest of the note still converts.

Is my export uploaded anywhere?

No. The .enex file is read and converted entirely in your browser, and the tool never follows links or loads images referenced inside it.
