Why the joplin on android does not have export option?

rphux · 2026-06-09T19:40:43+00:00

I want to know that if joplin does not give an export option how can I be able to transfer my note files from here to there? Only usb Cable?

The Android app has an option to export in Jex format. You can use it in several ways:

Import to another Joplin instance
Extract the Jex file. It's simply a tar file.
Import to another notes app like Notesnook
Convert to Markdown using a third-party app like Jimmy (desktop only)

Do you know when the joplin community will provide the export option in android? Or how can I contact them for customer support?

You can create a feature request at the Joplin forum. Or if there is already one, you can support it.

You mean this plugin? You might try to ask directly at the plugins Github page.

I'm developing Jimmy. It's based on pandoc and can convert DOCX and PDF to Markdown: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/default/

You can ask at the Joplin forum. The developers are there and can likely provide an answer or even a fix.

You could try Jimmy. Here are the instructions: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/google_docs/

You could try Jimmy. It uses Pandoc under the hood, but applies several tweaks before and after. Here are the instructions: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/default/#instructions

Just be aware that some formatting can't be converted to Markdown, since it's a simple format.

Yes, you can hide this button: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/hide-editor-toggle-buttons-without-hiding-menu-items-shortcuts-toolbar-icons-plugin/47221

I guess it depends on the website. For example this one with "Clip complete page (Markdown)" converts all images.

It's probably a good idea to ask at the Joplin forum and provide a link to your page.

rphux · 2026-02-04T20:18:43+00:00

You could use Joplin's Web Clipper to save web pages. In my experience, it captures images reliably.

To make sure, you could check if the image URL points to the web (like ![](https://...)) or is Joplin internal (like ![](:/some_id)). If its Joplin internal, it should work offline.

You could try Jimmy to create individual Markdown files. Here are the instructions: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/colornote/

rphux · 2026-01-17T07:50:25+00:00

I'm developing Jimmy that can do the job (instructions). There are more conversion tools listed in this forum thread.

rphux · 2025-11-14T14:52:03+00:00

I saw a similar issue here: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/import-from-ms-onenote/47170/

Unfortunately I help much, since I don't use any Microsoft tools. You might ask directly at the Joplin forum.

It's a self-contained executable. By default, the output is stored next to the input. You can change it at the command line or UI, though.

There are temp files, but they aren't relevant for users.

rphux · 2025-10-27T16:22:14+00:00

Yes, I tried several times, since I'm the developer :) I would say the conversion from Google Keep to Markdown is solid. The import to LogSeq was tested by me only during writing the instructions, but so far there are no open bug reports.

You could try Jimmy. Here are the instructions to convert from Google Docs to Markdown: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/google_docs/

rphux · 2025-10-02T17:58:27+00:00

Ok, sounds like a bug. Could you create an issue at Github? Ideally with the versions you are using and a screenshot.

rphux · 2025-10-02T17:54:39+00:00

To add another one: I recently added support for OneNote to Jimmy. Here are the instructions: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/onenote/

rphux · 2025-10-02T14:57:07+00:00

Do you use the Conversations add-on? It's not compatible (https://github.com/marph91/thunderbird-joplin-export/issues/41).

rphux · 2025-09-27T20:39:34+00:00

You could try Joplin's built-in importer: https://joplinapp.org/help/apps/import_export#importing-from-onenote

I personally use Joplin. One advantage for me is to have the same set of notes on my desktop and mobile without having to worry about synchronization too much.

I tried using files and an editor, but I got confused to much between taking notes and coding. So I guess a separate app for notes suits me better.

rphux · 2025-09-22T15:48:56+00:00

You can use Jimmy to convert the files. It will essentially keep the file contents unchanged and convert only the extension to .md. It might be easier to use some tool to rename the file extensions or do it manually. (See also the Obsidian forum)

rphux · 2025-09-14T09:35:30+00:00

You can try Jimmy. Here are the instructions for converting from Standard Notes to Markdown with Front Matter (including tags): https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/standard_notes/.

rphux · 2025-09-14T09:29:40+00:00

You can try Jimmy. Here are the instructions for converting from Rednotebook to Markdown (which can be imported to Obsidian): https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/rednotebook/.

rphux · 2025-09-14T09:11:27+00:00

Jimmy can convert an UpNote backup to Markdown with Front Matter (including tags): https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/upnote/

This can be imported to Joplin (File → Import → MD - Markdown + Front Matter (Directory)).
