Google Keep import

Bring your Keep notes across

Export from Google Takeout, then preview every note before it is imported. Nothing is written to your account until you confirm the preview.

Choose the JSON files from the Keep folder in your Takeout archive. Nested list items, annotations, collaborators, and audio are reported rather than imported.

Getting the export

Open Google Takeout, select Keep, and download the archive. Unzip it and open the Keep folder. Each note is a JSON file, and the picker accepts several at once.

What carries over

Titles, body text, checklists, labels, colours, pin state, archive state, and timestamps. Attachments are listed as references because the exported JSON does not include the files themselves.

Before you import

Importing needs an unlocked vault, so sign in first. Trashed notes are skipped automatically, and the preview always lists what will be left behind.
