How to prepare my own CSV file?​

If you want to upload your own CSV file just make sure:

  • Comma delimited
  • Columns: url, folder, title, note, tags, created
  • url column is required, other are optional
  • use / to specify nested folder, like a/b/c
  • to have multiple tags just put them in quotes, like "tag1, tag2"
  • created column should have Unix timestamp or date in ISO 8601 format
  • Column order doesn't matter

Here an example CSV file:

folder,url,title,note,tags,created
"Folder",http://google.com,Google,"Note","search, app",1629980125
"Folder/Nested folder",http://yahoo.com,Yahoo,"Note","search, app",1629980125

Validate your CSV file before uploading!

TXT​

Txt file should have a url per row

ENEX (Evernote)​

You can transfer all your web clips (bookmarks) from Evernote to Raindrop.io, including descriptions and tags. To do this, export your notes from Evernote in the ENEX file format.

When exporting, ensure you only select Created Date, Tags, and Source URL, as other fields take up unnecessary space and will be ignored during the import process.

Pinterest​

Pinterest itself doesn't have any tools to export your data. But you can try to use great third-party app called Pinback that can help you download export file. Just follow instructions on Pinback site.

Edge Collections​

Go to specific collection, click ... / Copy All then create a .txt file and paste content of clipboard to it. Now you have a .txt file that can be imported to Raindrop.

You can transfer bookmarks from almost any other service. Simply request an HTML, CSV, or JSON file from service that you use.

  • Evernote limitations:
    • Attachments are not supported yet
    • We only support transferring Evernote web clips (notes created using the Evernote Web Clipper). Other types of notes, including those containing bunch of links, are not supported.
