Google Keep to Evernote Converter 📝➡️🐘

This script converts your Google Keep archive into Evernote-compatible .enex files — with support for:

  • 🖼 Embedded images (inline in note content)
  • ☑️ Checklists (converted to Evernote-style todos)
  • 📌 Pinned notes (tagged as pinned)
  • 🏷 Labels → Tags
  • 📅 Created/modified timestamps
  • 🧾 UTF-8/emoji compatibility
  • 📂 Output split into multiple .enex files (chunks of 100 notes)

Tested with:

  • 5,000+ notes
  • 500MB of HTML, JSON, and images from Google Takeout


📤 How to Export Your Google Keep Data

  1. Go to Google Takeout
  2. Deselect everything, then enable only Keep
  3. Export and download the .zip file
  4. Unzip it — inside Takeout/Keep/ you’ll find:
    • .html files (one per note)
    • .json files (metadata)
    • any attached images (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc.)

👉 Copy all of those files (flat) into the keep_source/ folder in this repo.

Requires beautifulsoup4.
See Troubleshooting if you hit an import error.


🚀 Quick Start

  1. Put your extracted Keep files (HTML, JSON, and images) into keep_source/

  2. Run the converter:

python google-keep-to-evernote.py

It will:

  • Ask if you'd like to clear the output folder
  • Convert your notes to Evernote .enex format
  • Embed images and todos
  • Split the result into multiple output_###.enex files in evernote_output/
  • Log skipped notes or failed images to migration_log.txt

🛠️ Troubleshooting

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

This means the script is missing the BeautifulSoup library.

Fix it by running:

pip install beautifulsoup4

Then run the script again:

python google-keep-to-evernote.py

If you're using a virtual environment, make sure it’s activated before installing.
