Before you begin
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 9.3 or later, and your Mac to OS X 10.11.4 or later.

File formats that you can import
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can import Evernote Export export files (.enex files).
On your Mac, you can import these note formats from anywhere on your computer:
- .txt
- .rtf
- .rtfd
- .html
- .enex (Evernote XML export)
Your notes might look different after you import them. If you have an attachment or feature in your notes that the Notes app doesn't support, it's removed during the import.

Import notes on your Mac
When you import notes, you can add them to your iCloud notes account or your On My Mac account. If you store them in iCloud, you can automatically see all your notes on any device where you’re signed in with your Apple ID.
- Open your Notes app.
- Choose to store your notes in iCloud or On My Mac. Just click on a folder in the account that you want to use.

- In the menu bar, click File > Import.
- Select the file or folder that you want to import. If the notes that you're importing are organized in folders, click Options in the lower-left corner to keep them organized.
- Click Import. When you see a confirmation message, click Import again.
After your notes import, you'll see a new folder in the Notes app called Imported Notes. Then you can organize them into any Notes folder that you want.

Import notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can import one .enex file at a time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch—an .enex file can contain one note or many notes. Before you import to your Notes app, send yourself the .enex file via email or save it to iCloud Drive from your computer.

If you don't use iCloud and you don't have On My Device available, you'll get an alert when you tap Add to Notes.
