Click the button Select .enex files and select one or multiple .enex files to import to UpNote.
If you want convert each .enex file into notebooks in UpNote, enable the option Use file name as notebook . This way you can quickly import multiple notebooks from Evernote to UpNote.
You can select if you wants to convert your tags in Evernote to hashtags or notebooks in UpNote. If you convert to hashtags, please note that special characters in Evernote's tags will be replaced with - in hashtags since the hashtags in UpNote doesn't support special characters.
Select the notebook you want to add your notes to (optional)
Please note that your imported notes will be added to this notebook if it's specified.

Finally click the Import Notes button to import to UpNote
Files which are larger than 20MB and notes which have more than 300,000 characters are not imported to UpNote. You can see the data which were not imported successfully in the log, go to Settings > Feedback > Save debug log
The internal note links in Evernote do not contain information about which note they link to, so we cannot convert them to UpNote links. The internal note links from Evernote will remain intact, and you will still be able to click them to open in Evernote.
Custom text and highlight colors in Evernote will be removed when imported to UpNote, so that the text will be displayed with dynamic colors in light and dark mode.
Tip: If you want to keep your notebook structure from Evernote, first export each individual notebook from Evernote to .enex file. Then you could import multiple enex files into UpNote, and enable "Use file name as notebook" option.
