Importing files (PDF, images, Word, PowerPoint, notes)

Turn a file into a notebook you can write on

Supported files: PDF, images (JPG, PNG, WebP), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) and Word (.doc/.docx).

From the dashboard:

1. 1

   Tap New Mushaf, then Import.

2. 2

   Drag and drop a file, or click to choose one.

   
3. 3

   For a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, choose under Import as (images always become Canvas pages): — Canvas Notebook: draw freely on each page. — Doc Notebook: type notes around each page.

4. 4

   Continue, name it, and tap Create Notebook. The notebook opens and fills up page by page.

Inside an existing Notebook:

• —In the sidebar, New Notebook > Import File, or
• —on desktop, the Import file button on the page strip, to add pages to the current notebook.

Keep the app open while it imports. You'll see progress such as "Creating page 3 of 12". Word and PowerPoint files are converted online, so they need an internet connection. If you see "Unsupported file type", use PDF, images, PowerPoint or Word.

Put a PDF or image onto any canvas

In a Qur'an note or Canvas page, use Insert > PDF onto canvas, Insert > Image or Insert > Paste image.

Bring notes into a Qur'an mushaf

To import notes you've written elsewhere into a Qur'an mushaf:

1. 1

   Open the mushaf and choose More actions > Import notes.

2. 2

   Drop one or more files: PDF, DOCX, Google Docs export, Notion export, Markdown, HTML, TXT, JSON or ZIP.

3. 3

   Review them together, then add them in one go. You can Undo batch afterwards, or Resume previous review if you stopped part-way.

Limits: up to 40 MB and 800 pages per file. ZIP files can hold up to 200 files (100 MB in total).

Inside a Notebook, Import File also offers Portable notes (Markdown package, DOCX, HTML or JSON manifest) for bringing back notes exported as a Structured Package.

The Import notes option isn't shown to viewers of someone else's shared mushaf.
