Your data is yours. You can download everything at any time — the whole account, a single collection, or just a few selected items — and move it to another app, back to your browser, or to a different Raindrop.io account. Available formats are HTML, CSV, and TXT.
Not sure which format to pick? Choose HTML — it produces a Netscape Bookmarks file supported by all browsers and most third-party apps.

​
Backing up the whole account

All your bookmarks, collections, tags, highlights, and notes — keep as a safety copy or use to move to another service.
1
Go to Settings → Backups.
2
Click Create new.
3
Wait for an email notification, then download the files from the same page.
4
(Optional) To restore from a backup see Import.
The backup covers everything except uploaded files (PDFs, images, etc.) — those are stored separately and can be downloaded as a ZIP archive, as described below.
Uploaded files (PDFs, images, etc.) are not included in the backup. To download them separately:
1
Open All bookmarks in the web app.
2
Click Export → ZIP. The archive will contain all original files across your collections.

​
Automatic daily backups

Requires a Pro subscription.
If you accidentally delete something or want to roll back recent changes, automatic backups have you covered. With a Pro plan, a backup is created once a day when you make changes. Up to 30 recent backups are kept in your account at Settings → Backups — pick any of them and restore to get your data back. Optionally, backups can also be sent to your cloud storage — enable each provider under Cloud backup on the same page.

​
Exporting a collection

If you don’t need the whole account, you can export just a collection or a handful of selected bookmarks.
1
Open the collection you want to export.
2
Click Export and choose a format.

​
Exporting selected bookmarks

1
Hover over items and click the checkbox to select them.
2
Click Export in the toolbar and choose a format.

​
Exporting highlights

Highlights from a single bookmark can be exported as a text or CSV file.
Open a bookmark → Highlights → Export icon.

FAQ

HTML is the most universal — any browser or bookmark manager can import it. CSV is convenient for spreadsheets and data analysis. TXT is a plain list of URLs.
Export and backup are available in the web app. Open app.raindrop.io in a mobile browser to access them.
