Turn a list of URLs into bookmarks

Q: Can I turn a spreadsheet column into bookmarks?

Yes. Copy the column (with a header named url if you have titles in another column) and paste it, or save the sheet as CSV and drop the file in.

Updated 18 October 2026

Browsers can’t import a plain list of links, but they all import a bookmarks HTML file. Paste your links here, one per line or mixed into any text, and download that file.

🔒 Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

What you can paste

One URL per line, with or without https:// (example.com/page works).
A title and a URL on the same line: My page | https://example.com or https://example.com My page.
Markdown links [title](https://example.com) and HTML links.
Any text with links in it, such as an email or a document. Every link is picked out and duplicates are dropped.
A CSV or spreadsheet export with a url column, plus optional title, folder and tags columns. Exports from Pocket, Raindrop.io and Instapaper use these names.

Links without a title get a readable one made from the address, such as example.com › pricing, which you can rename later.

Import the file into Chrome

Open chrome://bookmarks (or press Ctrl+Shift+O, Cmd+Option+B on a Mac).
Click the three-dot menu at the top right of the Bookmark Manager and choose Import bookmarks.
Pick the .html file you downloaded. Chrome adds everything in a new folder, usually called Imported at the end of your bookmarks bar (look under Other bookmarks if it isn’t there), and your existing bookmarks stay as they are.

Edge, Brave, Firefox and Safari read the same file. Step-by-step versions: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and Safari.

Or load it straight into Stackboard

Stackboard shows your bookmarks as a board on Chrome’s new tab page. Download the Stackboard backup (.json) above, then open a new tab and go to Settings, Backup, Import JSON. Each folder becomes a stack you can rename, drag and reopen as a tab group, and everything is saved as ordinary Chrome bookmarks.

Questions

Chrome only imports bookmarks files, so convert the list first: paste it above, download the bookmarks file, then in chrome://bookmarks open the three-dot menu and choose Import bookmarks.

Yes. Copy the column (with a header named url if you have titles in another column) and paste it, or save the sheet as CSV and drop the file in.

Is there a limit on how many links?

No fixed limit. Tens of thousands of links convert in a second or two, because everything happens on your computer.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The page reads the file with your browser’s own file reader and builds the new file on your computer. You can load the page, turn off Wi-Fi and it still works.
