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.
