A complete walkthrough for moving your notes from Evernote V10+ to OneNote in 2026. Covers local processing, handling attachments, and preserving your notebook structure securely.
If you're reading this, you've likely decided it's time to leave Evernote. Maybe it's the recent price hikes, the confusing new interface, or simply that OneNote fits better into your Microsoft ecosystem. Whatever the reason, moving years of notes can feel daunting.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to migrate from Evernote (specifically the modern V10 version) to OneNote in 2026, without losing your data, formatting, or sanity.
Back in the day, Evernote had a simple export feature that worked with many open-source tools. But with the introduction of Evernote V10, the underlying architecture changed completely.
Before you start, do a little spring cleaning:
You can technically copy-paste notes one by one.
You can "print" a note to OneNote.
This is where our tool comes in. We built NoteMigrator specifically to handle the complexities of Evernote V10 and OneNote's modern API.
Here is the exact workflow to get your notes moved over securely:
Download & Login to NoteMigrator: Get the latest version for Windows or Mac from our Download Page and sign in.
Login to NoteMigrator
Select Evernote as the Source: Pick Evernote from the list of supported source platforms.
Select Source Platform
Connect Your Evernote Account: Authenticate via official OAuth — your password never touches NoteMigrator.
Connect Evernote
Select OneNote as the Target: Choose OneNote as the destination for your notes.
Select Target Platform
Connect Your Microsoft Account: Authorize NoteMigrator to create sections and pages in your OneNote.
Connect OneNote
Pick the Evernote Notebooks to Migrate: Select specific notebooks — we recommend starting with one or two to verify the results.
Select Source Notebooks
Choose the OneNote Destination: Pick the OneNote notebook where the new sections should be created.
Select Target Notebook
Review Your Selections: Double-check sources, targets, and the number of notes before kicking off the migration.
Review Selections
Run the Migration: NoteMigrator processes each note locally, converts HTML to OneNote format, and uploads attachments securely.
Migration Progress
Review the Results: When complete, you'll get a full summary — open OneNote to find your notes organized into sections.
Review Migration Result
Once the green checkmarks appear, open OneNote (it might take a minute to sync from the cloud).
Not everything in Evernote has a direct equivalent in OneNote, but NoteMigrator handles the core content types so your notes arrive intact:
| Element | What's Migrated |
|---|---|
| Notebook structure | Notebooks and note ordering mapped to OneNote sections |
| Rich text formatting | Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font styles, and colors |
| Headings | H1–H6 heading levels preserved |
| Lists | Bullet lists, numbered lists, and checkboxes |
| Inline images | PNG, JPG, GIF, and WEBP images embedded in notes |
| File attachments | PDFs, audio files, documents, and spreadsheets uploaded with the page |
| Tables | Table structure with rows and columns |
| Hyperlinks | External URLs and internal note links |
| Tags | Converted to searchable hashtags (e.g., #work #receipts) |
| Metadata | Creation and modification dates preserved |
| Code blocks | Simple formatting and monospace styling |
| Horizontal rules | Section dividers preserved |
As Evernote keeps introducing new features, some of Evernote-specific features don't have a OneNote equivalent — such as Evernote's native events, and task system are not migrated. Everything else that matters comes over cleanly.
Don't let your data be held hostage. With the right tool, you can move to OneNote in an afternoon and never look back.
