Update: Transfer notes from OneNote to Obsidian (“data:image/png;base64…” to PNG)

Share & showcase

Hi,

this is an update for this issue:

Since I also needed to transfer some notes with images from OneNote to Obsidian, I want to share my workflow.
It involves two plugins:

  1. Convert Base64 to PNG
  2. Image Converter

My workflow:

  1. Use Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C in OneNote to copy the entire content (text + images).
  2. Create a new page in Obsidian and paste with Ctrl + V.
  3. Run the command:
    Convert Base64 to PNG: Convert Base64 to PNG for current file
    → This converts embedded base64 images to actual .png files.
  4. Run the command:
    Link Converter: Active File: Links to Wiki
    → This converts Markdown image links to Obsidian-style wiki links.

Hopefully this helps others with the same issue.

If better methods for transferring individual files already exist, feel free to share!
