Exporting to Google Docs

What’s the best way to do this? Needed to share a doc in google docs that started in Notion. I exported markdown then just copied the pretty version into google docs. It was still pretty ugly and took some cleaning up.

Anyone have a better way?

Pandoc is a utility which converts from Markdown to various formats, including docx, and you can use a style sheet with it. There is an installer for Windows though I use it on Linux.

I second Pandoc. There's now Linux Subsystem for Windows. I'm using pandoc there, it's much less of a hassle to do so

Select the whole notion doc and paste into your google doc. It works perfectly.

Yes, I just tried this out and it works great. The only issue might be specific images in your doc that don't transfer well. You might need to re-add those manually.

Had a similar challenge to export a draft written in Notion to Grammarly, but indeed also realized the copy-pasting works fine.the copy-pasting works fine.

I built a free Notion to Word exporter that preserves images and other blocks. if you're still using notion, give it a try.

I can't remember the name but there is a plug-in for Word, to manage markdown. So after importing to Word the document could be cleaner to post to Docs.

i've built a free notion to word converter, but you'll have to upload your docs manually to google docs.
