Export your data

Your notes and highlights are yours to take with you. There are two ways to export.

Everything, as one ZIP file

1. Go to Settings, then Privacy.
2. Under Export your data, choose Request export.
3. Wait while we prepare it. This usually takes under a minute.
4. Choose Download. The link works for 7 days.

The ZIP holds your library details, highlights and notes, guides, flashcards, saved explanations and profile settings as data files. It also has:

• one Markdown file per book, with its highlights, notes and bookmarks, ready to drop into an Obsidian vault;
• your flashcards as a file Anki can import.

The ZIP does not contain the original book files you uploaded, only the information about them and what you made while reading.

You can request up to three exports an hour.

One book's annotations

To export the highlights and notes from one book, open it in the reader and choose Export annotations. Pick a format (Markdown, HTML, Word, CSV, JSON or plain text) and choose Download.

If a book has a very large number of annotations, the file may be a partial export. When that happens the dialog tells you, and so do the file's name and first page.
