If for any reason we want to handle notes differently, exporting Keep notes is a good way.
Exporting Google Keep notes to another format can be quite useful, especially if you need to back up your notes or use them in different applications. Here’s a guide in tabular form to help you with this process:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Access Google Keep | Go to Google Keep on your web browser. |
| 2. Select Notes | Click on each note you want to export or use the ‘Select All’ option if you want to export all notes. |
| 3. Open More Options | Click on the three vertical dots (More Options) in the top right corner of the screen. |
