What comes across in an Evernote import?
The core of your Evernote account comes across intact:
- Notebooks and stacks — your structure is preserved, not flattened.
- Tags — carried over and applied to the right notes.
- Note content — text and formatting, including checklists.
- Attachments — PDFs, images, scans, and other files travel with their notes.
- Web clips — pages you clipped over the years come along too.
After the import, Harbor does something Evernote charged extra for: it runs OCR on your attachments, so the words inside your scanned documents and photos become searchable. Give a large library a little time to index — it happens on our servers, in the background.
Because the import uses Evernote’s own ENEX export format, anything ENEX doesn’t carry can’t come across. The clearest example is note history — Evernote doesn’t include past versions in an export, so Harbor’s version history starts fresh from the day you import.
If something in your library doesn’t look right after an import, email help@harbor.my — we want to see it. Making the move from Evernote painless is the thing we care most about getting right. Start at Switching from Evernote.
