While you’re in Evernote, click ‘File’ at the top of your screen, then click the ‘Export Notes…’ option. Once you’ve chosen which notes or notebooks to export, the export process is very easy. However, you can only select one notebook at a time. This lets you choose which collections you want to export. Optionally, you can view your notes in separate collections by clicking the ‘Notebooks’ section on the left side. If you’re like me and just have a few entries, you can hold the Command (⌘) key and click each note individually.
This makes bulk migration easier, but Evernote includes some notes of their own from time to time (which might be why people are migrating) so you might want to be more selective.
To migrate everything all at once, click ‘Edit’ at the top of your screen while you’re in Evernote, then click ‘Select All’ to pick all of your entries for exporting. By default, you view all your notes across different notebooks together. Let all your notes sync in (you’ll know they’re finished loading in when the spinner next to your email address in the top left stops spinning), then look around and decide which notes you want to migrate. Log in to Evernote, but first click the ‘Sign in’ option as ‘Create an account’ deceptively defaults on launch.
