# Exporting notes
You can export some or all your notes as **PDF**, **HTML**, **Markdown**, **Markdown + Frontmatter** and **Plain text** files on all Notesnook apps. Notesnook is zero lock-in — your notes leave in open formats that any other app can read.
::: info PDF is for one note at a time on desktop and web
On desktop and web, PDF is only offered when you export a **single note** — multi-select exports and "export all notes" produce a `.zip` in Markdown, Markdown + Frontmatter, HTML or plain text. To get a PDF of several notes there, export them one at a time, or print the note from the desktop app. On mobile, PDF is available for multi-select and "export all notes" as well.
