How do I Transfer Google Chrome Bookmarks?

Published in Chrome Bookmarks 3 mins read

You can transfer your Google Chrome bookmarks by exporting them to an HTML file and then importing that file into Chrome on another device or browser. Here's how:

Exporting Bookmarks from Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome: Launch the Chrome browser on your computer.

  2. Access the Chrome Menu: Click on the three vertical dots (the "Customize and control Google Chrome" menu) located in the upper-right corner of the browser window.

  3. Navigate to Bookmarks: In the menu, hover over "Bookmarks," and a submenu will appear.

  4. Open Bookmark Manager: Select "Bookmark manager" from the submenu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+O (or Cmd+Shift+O on Mac).

  5. Open the Bookmark Manager Menu: In the Bookmark Manager, click the three vertical dots (the "Organize" menu) located near the top-right corner of the page, above your list of bookmarks.

  6. Export Bookmarks: Select "Export bookmarks."

  7. Choose Destination and Save: A file dialog box will appear. Choose a location on your computer to save the bookmark file (it will be an HTML file). Give the file a descriptive name (e.g., "Chrome Bookmarks Export") and click "Save."

Importing Bookmarks into Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome: Launch the Chrome browser on the device you want to import your bookmarks to.

  2. Access the Chrome Menu: Click on the three vertical dots (the "Customize and control Google Chrome" menu) located in the upper-right corner of the browser window.

  3. Navigate to Bookmarks: In the menu, hover over "Bookmarks," and a submenu will appear.

  4. Open Bookmark Manager: Select "Bookmark manager" from the submenu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+O (or Cmd+Shift+O on Mac).

  5. Open the Bookmark Manager Menu: In the Bookmark Manager, click the three vertical dots (the "Organize" menu) located near the top-right corner of the page, above your list of bookmarks.

  6. Import Bookmarks: Select "Import bookmarks."

  7. Select the HTML File: A file dialog box will appear. Navigate to the location where you saved the HTML bookmark file and select it. Click "Open."

Your bookmarks from the HTML file will now be imported into Chrome, typically appearing in a new folder on the bookmarks bar (or under "Other Bookmarks" if the bookmarks bar isn't visible).
