About Google Keep note
Google Keep has saved notes, lists and drawings since 2013. Takeout exports them in a Keep folder: a JSON and an HTML file for each note, named after its title, the pictures, drawings and recordings it holds beside them under names of their own, and Labels.txt.
Each JSON holds the note’s title, its text (plain, and as Keep’s HTML with its bold and headings) or its checklist with what’s ticked, its color, labels, whether it’s pinned, archived or in the trash, when it was made and edited, the links Keep found in it, the people it’s shared with, and the names of its files.
Filepeek draws the note as Keep does: its title, its words or checklist with the ticked items under the rest, struck through, its labels and dates over it, on a page in its color. Open it among the files of its folder, or drop it with them, and its pictures and drawings show in it, and Export saves it as PDF, PNG or JPEG.

Questions
How do I export my Google Keep notes?
At takeout.google.com, deselect all, tick Keep, and make the export. The archive’s Keep folder holds every note as a JSON and an HTML file, with their pictures.
Why doesn’t my note show its picture?
The picture is a file of its own in the same Keep folder. Open the note from the Takeout archive, or drop it with its pictures, and Filepeek finds them by the names the note gives.
Can I see my notes in the trash?
Yes. Notes in Keep’s trash are in the export too, marked In the trash, as are archived ones.
Can I open all my notes at once?
Open the Keep folder of the archive and step through the notes with the arrows, each on its page.
