Google Keep is one of the best note-taking apps we have for Android, although not the only one. If you want to switch to another app, it is a good idea to make a backup of all your notes first .
Google Keep allows you to share a specific note with any application that supports text, although if you want to copy all the notes, it is more practical to use Google Takeout . We tell you step by step how to download all your notes from Google Keep .
Download all your notes from Keep/How to backup all Google Keep notes
Google Keep has the option to share with other applications in each note, but if you have dozens of notes, saving them one by one is not very practical. Instead, you can use Google Takeout , the system to download your data from all Google services.

At Google Takeout you can request a backup of any product, including Google Keep. To do this, you need to open the Google Takeout website and click Unmark all , if all you want are the notes and not everything. Then check the box next to Keep .
If you click on the Various formats button under Google Keep, you will see information on in which format the data will be exported. The notes are each saved in an HTML file , the photos and voice notes are included, and also a JSON file with all the metadata for each note.
Scroll to the bottom of the window on the Google Takeout website and click Next step . You will then be shown additional options such as the export frequency or the format, although the default options are recommended. Hit Create export to get Google to start working on it.
Unlike other more complex backups like Google Photos , exporting all your Keep notes shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes. To know if it is ready, refresh the web until the Download button appears .
The backup copy of Google Keep notes materializes in a ZIP file with a bunch of files inside. Each note is in HTML and JSON file and, in addition, the photos and audio notes that you would have embedded are included.
While the JSON file contains the note with all its metadata in a format more suitable for importing in other applications, the HTML file of each note is easy to consult in any browser .
In the preview, you can see the note, its boxes, included photos and the date it was created. Unfortunately, there is no index , so you will have to open them one by one or see the file name, which keeps the name of the note in those that have a title
