Convert on Android

The new Android app makes it easier to export notes to PDF. Simply open a note and tap the three dots on the top.

Then tap the PDF option. You must share the file to save it. Otherwise, the app won’t save.

Share the PDF to your Google Drive or another cloud storage platform to save it without sharing it with anyone.
