Why Convert Evernote to MD with MarkdownForge?
Note content and structure preserved
The ENEX format wraps each note's body in ENML (Evernote Markup Language). fast-xml-parser extracts each note and Turndown converts the HTML-based content to Markdown, preserving headings, lists, links, and formatting.
100% local — your notes never leave your device
Both fast-xml-parser and Turndown run entirely in your browser. No note content is transmitted to any server, making this safe for personal journals, research notes, and private archives.
Migrate to Obsidian, Notion, or plain Markdown
Evernote exports are a common migration path. Converting ENEX to Markdown lets you move your notes into any modern Markdown-based tool without a proprietary import step.
Evernote to Markdown — FAQ
How do I export my notes from Evernote as ENEX?
In Evernote, select the notes or notebook you want to export, then choose Export and select the ENEX (.enex) format. This produces a single XML file containing all selected notes.
Are multiple notes in one ENEX file converted?
Yes. An ENEX file can contain many notes. The converter processes each note in the file and produces Markdown for all of them.
Is my note content uploaded to a server?
No. Both the XML parsing and Markdown conversion run entirely in your browser. Your notes never leave your device.
What happens to attachments and embedded images?
ENEX embeds attachments as base64 resources. Images are referenced in the Markdown output, but binary attachments cannot be embedded as portable Markdown and are noted as placeholders.
Can I import the result directly into Obsidian?
Yes. The output is standard Markdown that works in Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, and any other Markdown-based note app. Save each note as a .md file in your vault.
