How to Move From Notion to Logseq
Logseq has no official Notion importer. Export Markdown, clean the names and links, and add the files to your graph.
Direct answer
Logseq has no official Notion importer. Export your pages as Markdown & CSV, then clean the zip in the Notion to Markdown tool's Clean export (.zip) mode. Turn on [[wiki links]] if you want links in double-bracket style. Copy the cleaned files into your Logseq graph folder. Community scripts such as Notion2Logseq also work from the export zip.
Open the Notion export cleanerWhen to use this
- You want your Notion notes in Logseq as local Markdown files.
- You looked for a Notion import button in Logseq and did not find one.
- You want to try an open-source app before you commit to it.
Steps
- In Notion, open the ••• menu at the top right of the page and pick Export. For the whole workspace, go to Settings, then General under Workspace, then Export all workspace content.
- Choose Markdown & CSV and turn on Include subpages.
- Upload the zip to Clean export (.zip) in the Notion to Markdown tool. Turn on [[wiki links]] if you want double-bracket links.
- Copy the cleaned .md files into your Logseq graph folder.
- Open a few pages and check links, images, and any database tables.

Common mistakes
- Logseq's README says its new database version is in beta and that data loss remains possible. Keep your original export zip as a backup.
- Callouts export as raw HTML. Rewrite them as plain text if they look wrong.
- Community scripts are not maintained by Logseq. Test one on a small export first.
