Export Google Keep to Apple Notes
Switching from Android to iPhone? Apple Notes imports Evernote's .enex format, and KeepExport writes one from your Takeout zip: every note with its checklist, images and labels turned into #hashtags that Apple Notes indexes.
Drop your Google Takeout zip here
or the unzipped Takeout/Keep folder, or its .json files. Nothing is uploaded — the conversion runs in this tab.
Import into Apple Notes
You get: One .enex file with all notes and images embedded.
- Download the .enex file.
- On a Mac: open Notes → File → Import to Notes → choose the .enex. Notes land in an “Imported Notes” folder and sync to iCloud.
- On iPhone or iPad (iOS 15 or later): save the .enex to Files, tap it, and choose Notes when asked where to import.
What carries over
- Title and text, with bold, italic and strikethrough
- Checklists as Apple Notes checkboxes
- Images inside the note
- Labels as #hashtags at the end of each note
- Created and edited dates
Good to know
- Apple Notes ignores note colours and the pinned flag.
- Voice-memo attachments (.3gp) are embedded as files; Apple Notes may not play them inline.
Getting the export from Google
Open Google Takeout, deselect everything, select Keep, and create a zip export. Google emails a download link; the zip contains a Takeout/Keep folder. Drop that zip above. Full walkthrough: how to export Google Keep.
Questions
- Do I need Evernote?
- No. The .enex format is just the container Apple Notes accepts; nothing goes through Evernote.
- Will my labels survive?
- Yes, as #hashtags in the note body. Tap a tag in Apple Notes to see everything that carried it.
