19 Export

It'd be a shame to keep the piece you worked so hard on all to yourself! Let me show you how to wrap it up neatly to share with friends, or print it out beautifully to keep. 🎁

How Should You Export? (Formats) 💌

• PDF: The cleanest, most versatile option! Perfect for printing or sharing with others.
• DOCX: Export as a Word (.docx) document. Handy for pasting into company templates or co-editing with others.
• HTML: Great for posting on the web or keeping the pretty styling intact! (It comes with ObsiKO's own styling and safe security settings baked right in.)
• EPUB: Turns your note into an e-book (.epub) you can read on any e-reader. → E-book & Web Novel Viewer
• ZIP (.md): Zips up your original Markdown files as-is — great for backing up or moving everything at once.
• Print: When you want actual paper in your hands! (No printer? You can always choose 'Save as PDF' in the system print dialog — you knew that, right? 😉)

Export Options ⚙️

• Export rendered: Turn it on to export the note looking just like its styled appearance; turn it off to export the raw Markdown text instead.
• Include title: Choose whether to put the note's title at the top of the document.
• Merge into one file: When exporting multiple notes as PDF or HTML, you can combine them into a single file (printing is always merged).

Bulk Export: Better Together 📚

• Open the export window and the file you currently have open is already checked by default!
• The file list shows only the files in the folder currently selected in the sidebar (if no folder is selected, it shows the whole vault). That makes it easy to export just the bundle you want, even if you have a mountain of files!
• Just check the boxes next to any other files in the list, and you can export them all together at once.
• Print a bundle of files together and don't worry — every time the file changes, it neatly breaks onto a new page automatically.

🗺️ Pick a mind map (.canvas) and the format switches to ZIP. A canvas is a drawing board, not prose, so it can't be rendered to PDF or HTML. The moment one is selected the format flips to ZIP (originals) and the other buttons lock. Want just the documents as PDF? Hit the Exclude canvas button above the list! (To export a mind map as a picture, use the export inside the mind map screen → Mind Map)

Slides, Snapped Just as They Are! 📸

• Turned a document into a presentation? Then exporting it as PDF or HTML preserves that gorgeous slide look exactly as-is! → For presentation prep, see Making Presentations

Diagrams and Charts, Rendered as Images Too! 📊

• Mermaid diagrams and chart data charts (bar, line, pie, radar, heatmap, Venn, fishbone, and 20+ more types) that you put in your document also get exported as actual images (SVG) rather than raw code, both in PDF and HTML.
• The colors follow whatever theme you're using at the moment of export, and the images are embedded whole inside the document with no external connections needed — so it looks the same wherever you open it. → For how to make them, see Advanced Markdown

It Varies a Little by Device 📱💻

• Desktop (Mac/Windows): A single file brings up a save dialog right away; for multiple files, just pick a folder once and they'll all land inside it.
• Web browser: Files download one at a time, or hand off to the system print dialog.
• iPhone · iPad · Android: Apps here can't trigger a direct download or open a print dialog. Instead, we save the file straight into your vault! Open the saved file in your Files app or a browser to print or share it. → Platform Guide
• Choose PDF, HTML, or Print → saved as an HTML file (open that HTML and print it to get a PDF).
• DOCX, EPUB, and ZIP → saved with their own extensions (.docx, .epub, .zip) in the vault.
