Import your saves

Bring every old save with you.

Years of bookmarks and read-later saves shouldn't be stuck in an old app. Flick imports them into your history in one go, then quietly brings the good ones back now and then.

  • Free for everyone
  • No ads, no password
  • Android, iPhone and desktop

The short answer

  • Browser bookmarks from Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox (folders become tags).
  • Pocket CSV, HTML or JSON, Instapaper CSV and Raindrop CSV.
  • Any file or pasted text with links in it.
  • Dates, tags and archived state are kept. Nothing is emailed, and re-importing never duplicates.

How to do it

  1. Export your bookmarks

    Chrome or Edge: open the bookmarks or favorites manager, then the three-dot menu, then Export. Safari on Mac: File, then Export, then Bookmarks. Firefox: Bookmarks, Manage bookmarks, then Import and Backup, then Export to HTML.

  2. Open Flick and sign in

    On your phone or computer. Type your email and enter the 6-digit code.

  3. Import the file

    Pick the file, or paste a list of links. Flick sorts out the format for you.

  4. Rediscover them

    Old saves come back on Flick's home screen now and then, and a new save tells you when you saved something like it before.

Questions

Will I get an email for every bookmark?

No. Imports go into your Flick history only. Nothing is sent.

What if I import the same file twice?

Flick skips anything it already has, so there are no duplicates.

Does it cost anything?

No. Importing, like the rest of Flick, is free.
