# Import Textbundle files

Obsidian allows you to easily import Textbundle files using the official Importer plugin.

If you are importing notes from a specific app, you may want to first review the list of apps supported by Importer plugin to check if there is a specific converter that will better preserve the data you are migrating.

The Textbundle format bundles Markdown text and all referenced images into a single file, providing a more seamless way to move out of a sandboxed application. Textbundle export is supported by many apps, including Agenda, Craft, Taio, Ulysses, Zettlr, and more.

# Troubleshooting

# No files are selected for import

The Textbundle import can only import one Textbundle file at a time, and only on Mac devices. Instead, you may compress all of the Textbundle files you wish to import into a single .zip file and import this instead from any device.
