Download Notion To HTML

Notion is a widely-used productivity tool that allows individuals and teams to consolidate their thoughts, ideas, and projects in one location. Due to its user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities, Notion is a popular choice for many who want to stay on top of their work.

Local Notion is a tool that enables users to back up their Notion pages to their local storage. This article will explore how you can utilize Local Notion to backup your Notion pages to your local storage.

Step 1: Install Local Notion

Local Notion is a command-line utility that allows you to download your Notion data to disk. To install Local Notion, follow the guide here.

Step 3: Create your Local Notion repository

The next step is to create a Local Notion repository on your machine to house all the Pages and Databases you want to download. You can create as many repositories as you like.

On Windows open Command Prompt, on Linux or macOS open Terminal and create a folder that will be your repository and enter it.
