If you’ve been using Anytype and want to move your notes into Craft, you can easily do so using Markdown export.

​
Export from Anytype

Open Anytype on your desktop.
2
Click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top-right corner of the window.
3
Select Export from the dropdown menu.
4
Choose Markdown format in the export options.
5
Click Export to start the process.Once the export finishes, you’ll find your content saved locally in a folder containing Markdown files and any associated media (images, attachments, etc.).

​
Import into Craft

Once you’ve exported your Anytype data, you can import it directly into Craft:
1
Open Craft on desktop or web.
2
Navigate to “All Docs” view (select this view from the left sidebar).
3
Go to the three-dot menu (⋯) in the upper right corner.
4
Choose Import → Markdown (.md).
5
Select your exported markdown filesYou can select one or multiple files. Craft will automatically import your documents and attachments.

​
Review and Organize Your Content

After the import is complete:
  • All your notes will appear as individual Craft documents.
  • Folder structures from Anytype will be preserved where possible.
  • Embedded images and links should import automatically, but double-check any large attachments.
You can now reorganize or move your imported pages within your workspace as needed.

​
Troubleshooting

If something doesn’t look right after importing:
  • Ensure you exported in Markdown format (not PDF or Anytype’s own format).
  • Check that all files and folders were included in the exported folder.
  • If you encounter issues, try importing a smaller batch or contact Craft Support.
  • You can use drag-and-drop to import single Markdown files into any Craft page.
  • On the web application, it is only possible to import single markdown files.
  • Craft will automatically detect images referenced in Markdown files and upload them.
