Summary
Notion's export feature lets you save any page, database, or subpage tree as a PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV file directly to your computer. It's the fastest way to create an offline copy of your work, whether you're archiving notes, sharing a document with someone outside Notion, or migrating content to another tool.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the page you want to export
Navigate to the specific Notion page or database you'd like to save. If you've just created a page and added your content, make sure everything is finalized before exporting since the download captures a snapshot of the current state.
Step 2
Click the ••• menu
Look for the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the page, next to the Share and Comment buttons. Clicking it opens a dropdown with several page options, including Export.
Step 3
Select Export from the dropdown
Choose Export from the list of options. A new window will pop up in the center of your screen asking you to configure the download.
Step 4
Choose your export format
In the Export format dropdown, pick PDF to preserve the visual layout for sharing or printing, HTML if you want a self-contained web file, or Markdown & CSV if you're moving content into another tool. PDF is the best choice if your page includes images or custom formatting you want to keep intact.
Step 5
Set the Include content option
Use the Include content dropdown to decide whether to export just the current page or the page along with all its subpages. If your page is part of a larger linked structure, choosing subpages ensures nothing gets left out of the archive.
Step 6
Click Export and wait for the download
Press the Export button to start generating the file. Notion will process the request and prompt your browser to download the file automatically once it's ready.
Step 7
Open and verify the exported file
Locate the downloaded file in your computer's downloads folder and open it to confirm the formatting, images, and text all transferred correctly. If anything looks off, re-export using a different format to compare results.
Why this matters
You need a client-ready PDF for a meeting with no internet, or you're moving a project to another tool and need the raw content. Exporting turns your Notion page into a portable file you control, so your work isn't locked inside the app when you need it elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export an entire Notion workspace at once?
Yes, workspace-wide exports are available from your workspace settings as HTML, Markdown, or CSV files, along with any uploaded files. Full workspace export as PDF is limited to certain paid plans and is being phased out over time.
Do I need a paid Notion plan to export a page?
No, exporting a single page or database as PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV is available on the free plan. Paid plans only add extra options for exporting an entire workspace to PDF.
Can I export a Notion page while offline?
No, exporting requires an active internet connection since Notion generates the file through its servers before downloading it to your device. Once downloaded, though, the file itself is fully accessible offline.
Will exporting affect the original page in Notion?
No, exporting only creates a copy of your content in the selected format. The original page, its sharing settings, and any [members](/guides/notion/add-members) with access remain completely unchanged.
