Export/Import Bookmarks Guide

Moving your bookmarks between tools shouldn't feel like moving apartments. But without a guide, it kind of does.

Here's how to export and import bookmarks across every major browser and tool.

Exporting from Browsers

Chrome

Go to chrome://bookmarks

Click the three-dot menu (top right)

Select "Export bookmarks"

Save the HTML file

Firefox

Bookmarks → Show All Bookmarks

Import and Backup → Export Bookmarks to HTML

Safari

File → Export Bookmarks

Choose save location

Or export to HTML from edge://favorites

Importing into Bookmark Managers

Markify

Raindrop.io

Tips for Clean Migration

Clean up before exporting. Delete duplicates and dead links first.
Test import with a small batch. Export a single folder first to verify format.
Keep the HTML backup. Even after successful import, keep the export file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my folder structure?

Most tools preserve folder hierarchy. Markify converts folders to collections.
