FAQ
Q: Which cloud services can I use to synchronize my notes across different devices?
A: Joplin gives you the ultimate flexibility to choose how and where your data is stored. You can effortlessly connect and sync your devices using Joplin Cloud, or you can opt for popular third-party services like Dropbox and OneDrive. Because of this open design, you are never locked into a single ecosystem and can choose the synchronization method that best fits your personal privacy preferences and workflow.
Q: Can I capture ideas in ways other than just typing plain text in Joplin?
A: Absolutely! Joplin is built to capture your creativity in whatever form it strikes. You can record direct audio transcriptions, draw or write naturally using a stylus on tablet screens, and attach photos, videos, PDFs, or other essential files to your documents. It also supports custom code snippets, mathematical formulas, tables, and visual diagrams, making it easy to express complex technical concepts right alongside your daily thoughts.
Q: How does Joplin's search feature handle text that is trapped inside scanned documents or images?
A: Joplin features an intelligent Optical Character Recognition search engine that reads the text hidden inside your images, physical receipts, and PDFs. When you perform a search, the app scans these visual attachments and highlights the matching keywords. This means you can find important information buried in a photo of a whiteboard or a scanned document in seconds without having to manually transcribe the files first.
