Add-on summary

How does it work The addon scans the page looking for the images, pen/highlighter strokes and texts, then it tries to convert them from HTML format to Xournal++ XML format.

The conversion is completely done by your computer, so no data are collected or sent to external servers.

How to use There are a few steps that are required to get an optimal result:

  • Open the notes that you want to convert
  • Scroll the notes down to the bottom. This step is needed because OneNote loads images and strokes lazily, doing that you force it to download them all.
  • Press the addon button on your Toolbar, click on "Export" and wait
Once the page is converted, the exported file will be saved on your computer like a downloaded file.

The time required for the conversion depends on your computer and the size of your notes.
