Recollect lets you export a single note in several formats, or download all of your notes and images at once for a backup or to move to another notes app.

## Exporting a single note

Open a note, then click the download button in the footer at the bottom of the note. You can export the note as **Markdown** (`.md`), **HTML** (`.html`), **Plain Text** (`.txt`), or **PDF** (`.pdf`).

## Download all notes and images

Click on the **Gear icon** and select **Settings**.
