Frequently Asked Questions

How do I export everything from Notion?
In Notion, open Settings, then Workspace, then General, and choose Export all workspace content with the Markdown & CSV format. Notion emails you a link to a .zip. Upload that .zip here in Clean export mode. For one page, use the three-dot menu, then Export.
What Notion artifacts does this tool clean up?
It fixes URL-encoded filenames (%20 spaces), converts toggle blocks to HTML details/summary, normalizes callout blocks, strips database property headers, and fixes non-standard checkbox formats.
Does it remove the random IDs from file names?
Yes, in Clean export mode. Every file and folder name loses its 32-character Notion ID, and the links between pages and to images are rewritten to the new names, so nothing breaks. Links to pages that are not in the export are listed so you can check them.
Can I use the result in Obsidian?
Yes. Tick Obsidian [[wiki links]] before you download, then open the unzipped folder as an Obsidian vault. Databases come with a Markdown table page, and the original CSV files stay in the zip.
Does it fix Unicode bold text from Notion?
Yes, Notion sometimes uses Unicode Mathematical Bold characters instead of standard bold. This tool converts them back to regular characters.
