How to Export Apple Notes on an iPhone or Mac

howtogeek.com:

If you're switching away from Apple Notes, want to share notes with someone, or just like to archive your notes, exporting all your notes is the first step in the process. Follow along as we look at a few different ways to do this on your iPhone and iPad, or Mac.

How to Export Apple Notes on an iPhone or iPad

You can export your notes on an iPhone or iPad in two ways. You can either use the Apple Notes app to export your notes as TXT files or the Apple Pages app to export the notes in other formats like RTF, PDF, and more.

Export an Apple Note as a Text File

Exporting a note in the TXT format is super easy. But bear in mind that the TXT format can't hold text formatting, so you shouldn't use it if you want to preserve the formatting of your notes.

To get started, open the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad. Head into the folder containing the note you want to export. Now, open the note and tap the Share button at the top.

Select "Save to Files" from the Share Sheet that opens up.

By default, Notes will open the save prompt in the "On My iPhone" location in the Files app. If you want to save the note somewhere else, navigate to that location. Then, tap the text field at the bottom of the screen and give an appropriate name to the note file so that it's easier to find it later.

Finally, hit the "Save" button to export and save the note in the Files app.

Export an Apple Note as a PDF, RTF, or Word File

If you want to export an Apple Note in a universally accessible format, use PDF. Or, if you want to preserve text formatting, use other formats like RTF or Word. Apple Pages lets you do that. Pages gives you the freedom to choose any of these formats.

In the Notes app, open the note you want to export and hit the Share button.

Select "Open in Pages" from the Share Sheet.

This will open the note in the Pages app. Now, tap the Share button at the top of the note.

Select "Export and Send."

Alternatively, you can access the Export menu by tapping the three-dot menu in the
