Can I import from Evernote to Notion?

Yes, you can import your Evernote notes to Notion, and the process is relatively straightforward thanks to Notion's built-in import feature. This migration capability makes it easier for users to transition from Evernote's note-taking system to Notion's more versatile workspace environment.

To import from Evernote, you'll need to first export your notes from Evernote as an ENEX file, which is Evernote's standard export format. In Evernote, go to File > Export Notes, select the notebooks you want to transfer, and choose the ENEX format. Once you have your ENEX file, head to Notion and click "Import" from the sidebar, then select "Evernote" as your source and upload the ENEX file.

The import process handles most content types well, including text, images, attachments, and basic formatting. Your note titles become page titles in Notion, and tags from Evernote are preserved as properties. However, there are some limitations to consider. Complex formatting may not transfer perfectly, and some Evernote-specific features like reminders, shortcuts, and certain annotation types won't carry over.

One significant advantage of this migration is that Notion's organizational structure can actually enhance your imported content. While Evernote organizes content in notebooks and tags, Notion allows you to create databases, add custom properties, and build more sophisticated organizational systems around your imported notes.

The main challenges you might encounter include formatting inconsistencies and the need to reorganize your content to take full advantage of Notion's capabilities. Large imports can also take considerable time to process, so patience is required for extensive note collections.

After importing, you'll likely want to spend time restructuring your content to leverage Notion's unique features like databases, templates, and relational properties. While the basic import preserves your notes' content and makes them searchable in Notion, transforming them into a more dynamic workspace system requires additional effort.

Overall, importing from Evernote to Notion is definitely possible and works well for most users, though some manual cleanup and reorganization will help you maximize the benefits of Notion's more advanced organizational capabilities.
