Importing and Exporting Your Bookmark Library

Bkmark makes it easy to move your bookmarks in and out. You can import from Pocket, Raindrop.io, any major browser, or a previous Bkmark JSON export, and you can download a complete backup of your library whenever you need one. All import and export options are found under Settings → Data.

Imports are rate-limited to 5 per hour. If you need to import multiple files (for example, you exported several collections from Raindrop), spread them out or combine them into a single file before importing.

Bkmark JSON

Pocket lets you export your saved articles as a JSON file from its account settings.

Export your Pocket data

Sign in to getpocket.com, go to Settings → Export, and click Export HTML file or request a full data export. For Bkmark’s importer, download the JSON export from getpocket.com/export.

Open the import screen in Bkmark

In Bkmark, go to Settings → Data → Import and select Pocket as the source.

Upload the file

Click Choose file, select the JSON file you downloaded from Pocket, then click Start import.

Wait for the import to complete

Bkmark processes your file and adds each saved item as a bookmark. A summary shows how many bookmarks were imported and how many were skipped.

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari can all export your bookmarks as an HTML file. This is the standard Netscape Bookmark Format supported by all major browsers.

Export bookmarks from your browser

Chrome / Edge: Open the bookmarks manager (Ctrl+Shift+O / ⌘+Option+B), click the three-dot menu, and choose Export bookmarks.
Firefox: Open the Library (Ctrl+Shift+B / ⌘+Shift+B), click Import and Backup → Export Bookmarks to HTML.
Safari: Go to File → Export Bookmarks. Safari saves an HTML file to your Desktop by default.

Open the import screen in Bkmark

In Bkmark, go to Settings → Data → Import and select Browser bookmarks (HTML) as the source.

Upload the HTML file

Click Choose file, select the .html file exported from your browser, then click Start import.

Review the results

Bkmark converts your bookmark folders into groups and preserves titles and URLs. Favicons and descriptions are fetched automatically in the background.

If you’ve previously exported your library from Bkmark, you can re-import that JSON file to restore or migrate your bookmarks.

Locate your Bkmark export file

Find the .json file you downloaded from a previous Bkmark export. If you don’t have one yet, see the Exporting your library section below.

Open the import screen in Bkmark

Go to Settings → Data → Import and select Bkmark JSON as the source.

Choose your duplicate handling preference

Toggle Skip duplicates if you want Bkmark to ignore any URLs that are already in your library. Leave it off if you want to import everything regardless.

Upload the file and import

Click Choose file, select your Bkmark JSON file, then click Start import. Tags and groups from the export are recreated if they don’t already exist.

Exporting your library

You can download a complete backup of your Bkmark library at any time. The export includes all bookmarks, their tags, and their group memberships in a single JSON file.

Open the Data settings

Go to Settings → Data → Export.

Start the export

Click Export bookmarks. Bkmark generates the file and your browser downloads it automatically. For large libraries this may take a few seconds.

Save the file

The downloaded file is named bkmark-export-YYYY-MM-DD.json. Keep it somewhere safe — you can use it to restore your library or migrate to a new account.

The export uses Bkmark’s own JSON format. Every bookmark object includes its URL, title, description, tags, groups, favorite status, archive status, and timestamps. You can also retrieve the same data programmatically via the API:

curl https://api.bkmark.it/api/v1/bookmarks/export \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer bk_your_key_here" \
  -o my-bookmarks.json
