Summary

Notion's export feature lets you save a page or database 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

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Click the ••• menu

    Look for the three-dot Actions icon in the upper-right corner of the page, next to the Share button. Clicking it opens a menu with page options such as Copy link, Duplicate and Move to. Export is under More.

  3. Step 3

    Select Export from the dropdown

    Choose More at the bottom of the menu, then Export. A dialog opens in the center of your screen where you configure the export.

  4. Step 4

    Choose your export format

    In the Export format dropdown, pick PDF to preserve the visual layout for sharing or printing, HTML for a web page 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.

  5. Step 5

    Set the Include content option

    Use the Page content dropdown to choose Everything or Exclude files and images. The Include subpages option is only available on the Business plan, so on a Free workspace the export covers just the current page.

  6. Step 6

    Click Export and wait for the download

    Press the Export button at the bottom of the dialog to generate the file and download it.

  7. Step 7

    Open and verify the exported file

    Open the downloaded file, usually in your Downloads folder, to confirm the formatting, images, and text transferred correctly. If anything looks off, export again in a different format to compare.

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, Notion offers a workspace-wide export from your workspace settings. Check the options available on your plan before you start.

  • Do I need a paid Notion plan to export a page?

    No, exporting a single page as PDF, HTML, or Markdown & CSV works on the Free plan. Including subpages in the export requires a Business plan.

  • Can I export a Notion page while offline?

    Not reliably. Export is started from Notion in your browser, so you need a connection to run it. Once downloaded, the file itself opens offline.

  • Will exporting affect the original page in Notion?

    No, exporting creates a copy of your content in the selected format. The original page stays as it is in Notion.
