How do I import my Google Keep notes?

With Google Takeout. Keep exports one file per note: you need to select them all at once.

  1. On takeout.google.com, export “Keep”, then unzip the archive.
  2. In Lumina, open Settings, then “Import from Todoist, TickTick, Notion, Google Tasks or Google Keep”.
  3. Tap “Choose a file” and, in the Keep folder, select all the .json files. The folder’s other files (images, pages) are ignored.
  4. Lumina shows the number of notes and tasks found: start the import.

What each Keep note becomes:

  • A text note becomes a Lumina note, with its title and content. Its labels are added at the end as #tags, with spaces replaced by _ (“#gift_ideas”).
  • A checklist becomes a task with no date, with its unchecked items as subtasks. A list without a title takes the name of its first item.
  • Archived notes are imported like the others.
  • Not imported: notes in the trash and fully checked lists.

Keep’s images, colors and reminders don’t come across.

Imported notes have no limit in the free version. Lists, now tasks, count toward the limit of 10 tasks per day. Importing the same files again on the same device adds no duplicates.
