## Google Keep → Joplin (Greek UTF-8 Supported)

Hello,

This guide explains how to import notes from **Google Keep** into **Joplin**.

I’m sharing this because the **Google Keep plugin is not supported in Joplin Desktop**.  
The procedure converts Google Keep notes into an **Evernote (.enex)** export file, which can then be imported into Joplin.

The script requires **Python ≥ 3.7** and the `parsedatetime` library.

* * *

### Requirements

```auto
pip install parsedatetime

```

* * *

### Steps

1. Go to **Google Takeout** and request an export of **Google Keep**.  
Download the generated archive.

2. Extract the archive and navigate to the **Keep** folder.

3. Place the Python script in this folder and run:

4. Import the `.enex` file into Joplin:  
**File → Import → ENEX - Evernote Export File (as Markdown)**

5.

### Python Script

GitHub repository:  
[https://github.com/athinaok/Joplin-Migration/blob/main/google%20keep%20to%20evernote%20convert%20%20%20-%20%20keep-to-enex.py](https://github.com/athinaok/Joplin-Migration/blob/main/google%20keep%20to%20evernote%20convert%20%20%20-%20%20keep-to-enex.py)

* * *

### Notes

- Greek (UTF-8) characters are fully supported.

- The original script is based on:  
[https://gitlab.com/charlescanato/google-keep-to-evernote-converter](https://gitlab.com/charlescanato/google-keep-to-evernote-converter)

- This version adds **support for external images** , which the original did not handle.

Thanks for sharing your scripts! I added them to the wiki page:

> [@Importing notes from other notebook applications](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/importing-notes-from-other-notebook-applications/22425):
>
> Importing notes from other notebook applications There is a concise topic for this located in the [official documentation](https://joplinapp.org/help/#importing-from-other-applications) but I think a wiki post here will allow for others to add to this document as and when they learn about a new tool or trick for importing. Please edit this wiki post as required (in the top right of this post) to add or change information as you deem necessary. This post does not mean the main document cannot be updated with new info but with the current documentation form…
