Notion Export Cleaner (UUIDs, links, CSV databases)

Export your workspace from Notion as Markdown & CSV, then drop the resulting .zip into this tool. It strips the UUID Notion appends to every filename, rewrites internal links to match, and converts database CSVs into Markdown tables, all before you unzip it into your Obsidian vault.

Notion appends a 32-character hexadecimal ID to every file and folder name on export. This tool strips that exact trailing ID from every path segment, in both files and nested folders, while keeping the rest of the name (and each file's extension) intact.

Drop the export .zip into this tool rather than renaming files by hand. It finds the trailing 32-character ID on every file and folder, strips it, and rewrites any Markdown links that pointed at the old UUID-suffixed name so they still resolve after the rename.

When a database's CSV export sits next to the folder of that database's rows, which is how Notion exports every database, this tool detects the pair automatically and converts the CSV into a column-aligned Markdown pipe table instead of leaving it as a bare spreadsheet file.

Notion's own Markdown & CSV export writes a database's properties (tags, titles, dates) into a CSV, but the actual page content inside each row exports separately as its own file in a same-named folder. This tool does not recover missing content Notion itself failed to export; it cleans and connects what the export actually produced, converting the CSV to a table and stripping every filename's UUID.

It fixes the specific breakage the UUID-stripping rename would otherwise cause: a Markdown link that pointed at a UUID-suffixed filename is rewritten to the new, cleaned path. It does not invent links between pages that were never linked in Notion to begin with.

No. The zip is read, cleaned, and rebuilt entirely in your browser with JSZip. Nothing inside it, no page, no attachment, no database row, is ever sent to a server, which matters because Notion exports often contain private or unpublished content.

Exports over 2,000 files or roughly 200 MB uncompressed are declined with a clear notice instead of freezing your browser tab. For an export that large, try cleaning your largest databases as separate sub-exports from Notion first.
