> If you are tech savvy and know your way around a computer, you can use a tool like [evernote-backup](https://github.com/vzhd1701/evernote-backup) to quickly export all your Evernote notes as .ENEX files.

1. Open the Evernote Desktop app (its not possible to export notes from the Evernote web app), and go to `Notebooks` from the side menu:

3. Choose `ENEX format` then click on `Export`, and save it to your desired location. Repeat this for all the Notebooks you want to import into Notesnook.

## Importing .ENEX files into Notesnook

Once you have all the .ENEX files containing your Evernote notes, its time to import them into Notesnook.

1. Open the Notesnook app (web or desktop)
2. Go to `Settings > Notesnook Importer` and select Evernote from the list of apps.
