Import from Evernote

Use the Evernote import when you want to migrate a notebook into Second Me while preserving more structure than plain copy and paste.

Import Model​

  • Evernote import expects a notebook export packaged as ZIP.
  • Use Evernote's Multiple web pages (.html) export format so the importer can read note content and related resources.
  • The import is a one-time snapshot. Later changes in Evernote are not automatically synced.

The product window gives the exact export settings to choose. This page explains the expected result and common limits.

What to Import​

Good Evernote candidates include:

  • Notebooks with long-form notes, collected research, and personal reference material.
  • Notes where the text is more important than the exact Evernote layout.
  • Notebooks you want to migrate as a batch rather than selecting files one by one.

For a small number of already exported PDFs, images, or documents, Batch upload files may be simpler.

What to Expect​

  • Note text is converted into material content when possible.
  • Note titles and exported metadata may be used when the source package provides them.
  • Images, files, and other rich resources may be imported as attachments instead of appearing inline exactly as they did in Evernote.

Notes​

  • Keep the exported folder structure unchanged before compressing it into ZIP.
  • The ZIP package is subject to the upload limit shown in the product.
  • Large notebooks may take several minutes to process.
  • If a notebook is very large, consider splitting the export by notebook or by smaller batches.
