Import and export

Bring in a folder of markdown, an Obsidian vault or a zip; take the whole vault out as a zip of markdown files at any time.

Importing

From the command palette:

Import notes from a zip — a zip of .md files, in folders. An Obsidian vault zipped whole works as-is: the wrapper folder is stripped, .obsidian settings for daily notes and the attachment folder are read, images and PDFs become attachments (a PDF also becomes a searchable note of its text), and [[wikilinks]] resolve across everything imported.
Import a folder — pick a folder from your computer; same handling, no zip needed.

Names that collide get a suffix rather than overwriting.

Exporting

Export vault downloads a zip of every note as <path>.md, folders preserved. It is your notes, as plain files; nothing is proprietary.

Attachments

Paste or drag an image or PDF into a note and it uploads and embeds at the cursor as ![[name.png]]. Images show inline; hovering an embed previews it. Files are capped at 5 MB, and only common image and document types are accepted.
