How to Export iPad Safari Bookmarks

When you use your Apple ID on your iPad, iPhone, and Mac computer you make it much easier to share information between all of those devices.

One type of information that is shared is the bookmarks that you save in Safari.

Our guide below will show you how you can use the Safari browser on your Mac computer to export the bookmarks from your iPad to your Mac.

How to Export Browser Bookmarks from an iPad

• Confirm that you are signed into iCloud and your Apple ID on your iPad.
• Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud and make sure that Safari is checked.
• Select the Apple icon at the top of the screen > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and make sure the Safari option is checked.
• Open the Mac Safari Web browser.
• Click File , then Export Bookmarks .
• Give the file a name and click Save .

Our guide continues below with additional information on how to export iPad Safari bookmarks, including pictures of these steps.

Do you find that you are doing more and more Web surfing on your iPad?

You are definitely not alone, as an increasing number of people are finding that the ease of using an iPad for normal Web browsing is far more convenient than getting out a laptop computer and waiting for it to boot up.

As a matter of fact, I find that I use my iPad more frequently than my laptop, and tend to only use my laptop if I need to specifically use a powerful program on the computer, like Photoshop, or if I have to do a lot of typing.

But my increase in iPad Web browsing has led to the majority of my bookmarks being located on the iPad, which can make it inconvenient to find that bookmark later on my computer.

You can rectify this problem by using iCloud to export bookmarks from your iPad to your computer.

How to Export Safari Bookmarks from iPad (Guide with Pictures)

The first thing you need to do is configure iCloud on your iPad. You can do this by tapping the Settings icon on your iPad. Note that this process is also a good way for you to learn how to backup your iPad Safari bookmarks .

Tap the iCloud option at the left side of the window, type your Apple ID and password into the fields at the center of the window, then tap the Sign In button. You will receive a few notifications about merging contacts and uploading some data to iCloud, so choose the options that you would like to use.

Tap the Bookmarks button so that it says On .

You are now done configuring your iPad to share the bookmarks from your Safari browser. The next step is to get iCloud on your PC and configure that to store your iPad Safari bookmarks.

How to Transfer Bookmarks from iPad to PC

While it would seem like you could control iCloud from iTunes, that is not the case. You actually need to download an extra program to your Windows PC called the iCloud Control Panel. Fortunately this program is available for free, and you can download it at Apple’s website from this link .

Click the Download button at the right side of the window, then save the file to your computer.

Double-click the downloaded file, then follow the instructions until the installation process has completed.

Once the iCloud Control Panel has been installed, you can click the Start button at the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click the Control Panel button at the right side of the menu.

Click the drop-down menu at the top-right corner of the window, click the Small icons option, then click the iCloud option. Take note of this location, as you may be inclined to look for the program in the All Programs menu.

Type your Apple ID and password into their respective fields at the center of the window (these need to be the same values that you used when you set up iCloud on your iPad) then click the Sign In button at the bottom of the window.

Check the box to the left of Bookmarks , then click the Merge button to merge the bookmarks on your computer with the bookmarks on your iPad.

Click the Options button to the right of Bookmarks , then select the browser that you want to use your iCloud bookmarks with. After selecting the desired browser, click the OK button.

This will return you to the original iCloud Control Panel window. Click the Apply button at the bottom of this window to apply the changes that you have just made.

You should now be able to open the browser that you selected and see all of your iPad Safari bookmarks have been exported to the chosen browser on your PC.

Exporting Safari bookmarks to DuckDuckGo on ipad

I’m trying to export my favorites and bookmarks on my iPad safari to DuckDuckGo browser

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

Posted on Sep 10, 2023 12:17 PM

Posted on Sep 12, 2023 2:00 PM

Having the same problem. Sure, one could copy and paste favorite links one by one, but the point of the "import bookmarks and favorites" function of DdG should be to do ALL of them at once. I have more than 100 bookmarked pages that I refer to often.

The problem is that the DdG browser doesn't recognize the "Bookmarks.plist" file. When I go to Safari and export bookmakrs, DdG also cannot recognize the "Safari Bookmarks" file that was just exported.

I dont think you ever will see that toolbar on an iPhone or iPad - Those instructions only work on a Mac or Mac mini. Folks on this Apple forum never seem to recognize the difference.

Fortunately I’m logged into the iCloud and share everything across all my devices. I was able to save the bookmarks to a file on my iCloud drive using my Mac mini per the instructions. Then I was able to open DuckDuckGo on my iPad and import the password file using the Bookmark icon, then More.

Feb 18, 2024 10:36 AM in response to dgiMacuser

I do not see the toolbar you show in DuckDuckGo.

Apr 1, 2024 8:35 AM in response to dgiMacuser

Nice screenshots but the screen and options on iPad look completely different. For a start, there is no menu at the top where the File option is.

Sep 10, 2023 1:36 PM in response to ehkross

I have never used DuckDuckGo. But I would think you could copy a bookmarked URL from Safari and paste it somewhere accessible to DuckDuckGo.

Aug 10, 2024 1:51 PM in response to NotBelle

You do it on your Mac. I did what was suggested here: (It is a post in this topic)

Then as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, " I looked around DDG settings and found that it can sync and share with an iOS device by a scan code it generates when asked to sync."

That makes DDH on the Mac and iOS devices have the bookmarks that Safari has as of the date you do all this. Going forward you can manage to do it one at a time if you still use Safari.

Jun 26, 2024 12:25 PM in response to dgiMacuser

I just did that method on my Mac and it worked beautifully, thank you. I hoped that when I opened DDG on the iPad it would now have them too, as happens if I add a Bookmark in Safari or Chrome. But it did not have them.

So I looked around DDG settings and found that it can sync and share with an iOS device by a scan code it generates when asked to sync. Now it is all done everywhere. Thank you.

Sep 12, 2023 2:10 PM in response to trinoculus

What did Duck Duck Go support suggest when you contacted them for help with their application?

Jan 17, 2024 12:10 PM in response to ehkross

I had this same issue. I used File -> Import Bookmarks and Passwords

Then choose HTML Bookmarks file. Then it will recognize the exported file.

Jun 26, 2024 9:00 AM in response to sberman

Try that method for over 100 bookmarks🥴

Jun 26, 2024 11:47 AM in response to sberman

Not if you have hundreds, all organised in files and sub-files.

Jun 26, 2024 11:50 AM in response to dgiMacuser

Again, these options are not available on iPad. But thanks for trying 🙂

Wanting to sync bookmarks & favorites from safari to dig on ipad

• Office Manager
• Google Chrome

If you are considering switching from Safari to another web browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or another popular browser, there are some important steps you can follow to keep your browsing experience smooth.

One of the first actions you'll probably want to take is to export your bookmarks and saved passwords from Safari so you can easily bring your favorite websites and login credentials with you to your new browser. In this guide, I'll show you how to export bookmarks and passwords from Safari to an HTML and CSV file. Then I'll show you how to import these bookmarks and passwords into the Google Chrome or Firefox browser.

Export bookmarks

To get started, open the Safari browser. Go to the File menu in the top menu bar, choose Export, then Bookmarks.

This saves your bookmarks as an HTML file, which is supported by most browsers.

Open the new browser you want to switch to and look for the option to import bookmarks. This can usually be found in the 'Bookmarks' or 'Favorites' menu. Select the HTML file you exported from Safari to import your bookmarks.

Export passwords

To get started, open the Safari browser. Go to the 'File' menu in the top menu bar, choose 'Export' and then 'Passwords'.

First you will receive a message that you are sure whether you want to export the passwords. Your passwords are stored without encryption and are visible to anyone with access to the exported file. Click on 'Export passwords' if you accept this risk and want to export the passwords.

This saves your bookmarks as a CSV file, which is supported by most browsers.

Safari is trying to export passwords from your iCloud Keychain. This requires the password for your user account.

You have now successfully exported your passwords to the chosen location. At this location you will find a CSV file with all websites, usernames and passwords in plain text.

Import Safari bookmarks into Google Chrome

To import the exported Safari bookmarks into Google Chrome, click the menu icon at the top right of Google Chrome. In the menu, click on 'Bookmarks and lists' and then on 'Import bookmarks and settings'. Select 'HTML Bookmarks File' and choose the exported HTML file containing Safari bookmarks.

Import Safari passwords into Google Chrome

To import the exported Safari passwords into Google Chrome, go to: https://passwords.google.com/options?ep=1 . Click “Import Passwords” and select the exported CSV file containing Safari passwords.

Import Safari bookmarks into Firefox

To import the exported Safari bookmarks into Firefox, click the menu icon at the top right of Firefox. In the menu, click on 'Settings' and then on the 'General' tab. Then click on 'Import data'. Select 'Bookmarks from HTML File' and choose the exported HTML file containing Safari bookmarks by clicking 'Select File'.

Import Safari passwords into Firefox

To import the exported Safari passwords into Firefox, click the menu icon at the top right of Firefox. In the menu, click on 'Passwords'. In the top right corner, click the “…” button, click 'Import from file' in the menu and choose the CSV file with Safari passwords.

I hope to have informed you with this. Thank you for reading!

How to export Safari bookmarks from your iPhone or iPad to a Mac or PC

If you keep certain pages bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and want to export those same bookmarks to your Mac or PC, then you’re in luck because there’s a way you can do this without wasting too much of your time.

We’ll show you how you can do it on both your Mac and your Windows computer.

Make sure iCloud handles your bookmarks

To export your iPhone’s Safari bookmarks to your Mac or PC, you need to have iCloud syncing enabled for Safari on your iPhone and the device you want to sync with. Follow these steps to do that:

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
• Tap your name from the top.
• Hit iCloud > Show All and make sure the switch next to Safari is enabled.

After you enable this setting, your bookmarks from Safari on your iOS device are going to be uploaded to iCloud, so your other iCloud-enabled devices can sync them. So, make sure all your devices are connected to the internet.

Export iPhone or iPad bookmarks

To your mac.

If you followed the steps above, then your iOS device’s bookmarks are already in the cloud at this point, and now you can start exporting them to your computer. This section will show you how to do that on your Mac.

To start, go to the Apple menu  > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and make sure you have a checkmark in the Safari checkbox.

Now that you have enabled Safari bookmarks syncing via iCloud on your Mac, the bookmarks you uploaded from your iOS device will now be downloaded to Safari on your Mac.

Next, launch Safari on your Mac and go to File > Export > Bookmarks… from the Menu Bar.

When prompted, choose a place to save the export and click on the blue Save button:

Now you should be left with an HTML file that contains all your bookmarks:

Import Safari bookmarks to Chrome or Firefox

You can use this as a backup if you ever need to import your bookmarks to Safari again or another web browser like Chrome or Firefox, for that matter. The import process for each web browser differs, but all browsers should be able to import that file. Here’s how:

Chrome : Open Chrome on your Mac and click the three dots icon from the top right. Here, pick Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings . Next, click the dropdown menu and choose Bookmarks HTML File . Finally, click Choose File , select the Safari Bookmarks HTML file and hit Open .

Firefox : Launch Firefox on Mac and press Command + Shift + O to go to Bookmarks manager. From here, click the two-arrow icon and choose Import Bookmarks from HTML .

To your Windows PC

If you have a Windows machine, things are a little more convoluted because you have a different operating system that Apple has no control over. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to export your iOS device’s bookmarks to your Windows PC.

The first thing you’re going to want to do is to make sure you followed the first section of this post and enabled iCloud syncing for Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad.

Next, you need to download iCloud for Windows if you don’t already have it, which is a free download from Apple’s website. After you install it, or if you already have it installed, launch your iCloud dashboard on your PC.

Next, you’re going to want to put a checkmark in the Bookmarks checkbox:

By default, iCloud will sync your bookmarks with Microsoft Edge (earlier Internet Explorer), but you can change this to Chrome or Firefox (depending on what you have installed) by clicking on the Options… button. Once you get the Bookmarks Options prompt, choose the web browser you want to sync with and click OK .

Once satisfied, click the Apply button from the main iCloud dashboard, and this will save your changes.

The very same bookmarks you have on your iOS device should now be synced to the web browser of your choice on your Windows PC.

Now that you know a way to keep your bookmarks in sync across your mobile devices and your computer, you can easily pick up on your computer where you left off on your mobile device.

How to migrate Safari information to Microsoft Edge on a Mac

Your email has been sent

Microsoft’s introduced a variety of new features and functionality within its Microsoft Edge browser, as shown in Figure A , that Mac users—especially those using Microsoft 365 subscriptions—should consider. Packed with a surprising number of improvements, possibly Edge’s greatest advantage is its compatibility powering Microsoft 365-powered services, sites and applications.

Other features include the browser’s ability to sort tabs by group. Edge’s Startup Boost, meanwhile, assists the browser starting more quickly, while Sleeping Tabs aim to improve system performance by resting inactive tabs, thereby conserving CPU cycles and memory for other necessary tasks.

To get the most out of Microsoft Edge, Mac users—depending upon an organization’s policies—may wish to migrate existing Safari browser information to Microsoft’s alternative. Bookmarks, favorites and browsing history are among the items you can export from Safari into Edge.

Importing Safari information to Microsoft Edge requires completing three independent processes:

• Providing Microsoft Edge with Full Disk Access.
• Migrating Safari information to the new browser.
• For security purposes, removing Microsoft Edge’s Full Disk Access permissions.

Here’s how to get started by providing Microsoft Edge with the permissions required to migrate Safari data:

• Open System Preferences.
• Select Security & Privacy.
• Choose Privacy.
• Select Full Disk Access.
• Click the lock in the bottom left corner to enable making changes.
• Provide a username and password possessing permission to make changes in the window macOS will display (or provide the authorized fingerprint if Touch ID is enabled).
• Select Unlock (if necessary; Touch ID eliminates the need for this step).
• Select the Plus icon.
• Click Applications.
• Choose Microsoft Edge.
• Select Open.

Microsoft Edge should then appear within the list of applications receiving full disk access, as shown in Figure B .

Next, export Safari data to Microsoft Edge by following these steps:

• Open Microsoft Edge.
• Click Microsoft Edge from within the macOS menu bar and select Import Browser Data.
• Select Safari from the Import Browser Data window’s Import From drop-down menu, as shown in Figure C .
• Ensure the checkboxes for Favorites or Bookmarks and Browsing History are selected.
• Click the blue Import button.

As a best security practice, Mac users should limit applications receiving full disk access permissions. So, once Safari information is imported into Microsoft Edge, complete the following steps to remove those permissions for Microsoft Edge:

• Click Security & Privacy.
• Click the lock in the bottom left corner to permit making changes.
• Clear the check box next to Microsoft Edge.

Having a secondary browser comes in handy on any system, Macs included. Occasionally web incompatibilities arise, especially with payment portals, Microsoft 365-powered services and sites and other secure web-based solutions. The ability to import favorites, bookmarks and even browser history from Safari can help ensure the new browser doesn’t become an exercise in frustration by ensuring many of the common links and shortcuts to which you’ve become familiar remain present.

How to export Safari bookmarks: Saving your favourite websites

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Share on LinkedIn

The default browser Safari gives Mac or iPhone users a reliable and secure option for their daily activities on the World Wide Web. Like other modern web clients, Apple’s app has a pop-up blocker, supports tabbed browsing and lets users save websites as Favorites .

This feature not only makes it easier for you to open the pages you visit regularly, it also gives an opportunity to save interesting URLs to visit later. You can even continue to use this practical collection of links when using another browser or another device – by exporting your Safari bookmarks. How does it work?

Exporting Safari bookmarks (Mac): Quick guide

You can export Favorites in Safari at any time. As the software has an integrated export function , you don’t need any special tools or browser add-ons. The Apple program always saves your bookmarks in an HTML file that can be integrated in all standard web clients. Here is a quick guide to the steps required to export bookmarks from Safari:

• Open Safari.
• In the menu bar, select the “ File ” tab.
• Click “ Export Bookmarks ”.
• Enter a name and the target (the default target is the desktop) for the bookmarks file.
• Click “ Save ” to complete the process.

You can open the exported HTML document with the browser of your choice to view your favourites collection in it. However, if you want to import your bookmarks into another Safari installation , you have to proceed as described in this  article on importing bookmarks in Safari .

Step-by-step tutorial: How to export your Safari bookmarks

The following tutorial presents the process in greater detail and describes how to export specific or individual Safari bookmarks without having to save them in an external document.

First, open the browser . To do so, either click the Safari symbol in your Dock, use the Spotlight search function or navigate to the programme file in Finder.

Once you have opened Safari, click “File” in the menu bar at the top, and then select “ Export Bookmarks ”:

You can then make selections for three settings in the Safari Export Bookmarks menu: In the first line, (“Save As”), enter a name for the bookmarks file – you can rename it at any time. In the second line, you can choose one or more tags if you use the Mac tag system to organise your files and want to assign the HTML document to one or more categories:

In the third and last line, you set the destination for saving the bookmarks document . You can choose either a local storage location or an external medium like a connected USB stick. After you make your selection, you can start backing up your bookmarks by clicking “ Save ”.

If you only want to export a single Safari bookmark , there is no dedicated function for this, but there is a very simple little trick: Open your Favorites list and drag the bookmark in question to the Desktop by clicking and holding the left mouse button:

While you can’t import the web document created in this way as you usually would, you can open it with any standard browser . The bookmarked website is then opened automatically. You can then save the site as a favourite in your new browser .

How to export Safari bookmarks on iOS devices

If you use Safari on an iOS device, i.e. on an iPhone or iPad, unfortunately it’s not as easy to transfer your bookmarks to another browser or device. The mobile version does not have an export function like the Desktop version of the Apple web client. However, you can synchronise your settings and web activities in Safari with iCloud , letting Apple save your bookmarks online, which enables you to import them to another browser at a later point in time.

To activate iCloud synchronisation for Safari , first open the Settings and then tap your personal Apple account:

Tap the “ iCloud ” button in the Apple ID menu, which then opens:

You will then see a list of all apps that can be synchronised with iCloud. Online backups are active when the Slider for the entry of the respective applications is switched to the right . Scroll down to “ Safari ” and select the browser for synchronisation:

Once you do that, your Safari bookmarks are always exported to your iCloud account automatically .

To import the bookmarks stored in iCloud to another browser or another Safari installation, the iCloud app has to be installed on the target device.

Build or host a website, launch a server, or store your data and more with our most popular products for less.

• Use this method if you want to import bookmarks from Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox into Safari on your Mac device.
• If this is your first time opening Safari, importing from Chrome or Firefox can be automatic if you choose Keep your imported items . If you didn't opt for that, continue reading to manually import bookmarks from Chrome and Firefox.

• If this button is greyed out and unclickable, make sure Chrome or Firefox is not open in the background.
• If you imported passwords, you may need to enter your admin password before you can continue.

Import bookmarks, history and passwords in Safari on Mac

If Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox is your default browser, you can automatically import your bookmarks, history and passwords when you first start using Safari, or manually import them later.

You can also import bookmarks that were exported in HTML format from Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and some other web browsers. And you can import passwords that were exported to a CSV file from a password app or another browser.

Imported bookmarks appear after your existing bookmarks.

Imported history appears with your existing history.

Imported passwords go into your iCloud Keychain, so you can autofill sign-in information on websites.

Open Safari for me

Automatically import from Chrome or Firefox

If this is the first time you’ve opened Safari after using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, a message at the bottom of the start page asks you if you want to keep imported items.

Select an option:

Keep your imported items: Safari keeps your imported bookmarks, history and passwords from Chrome and Firefox.

Remove your imported items: Safari removes your imported items.

Decide later: Return to the start page and import the items at another time. To see the start page, choose Bookmarks > Show Start Page.

Manually import items from Chrome or Firefox

You can do this any time after you start using Safari, even if you imported items already.

You must have Chrome or Firefox installed on your Mac to import.

Select the items you want to import.

Click Import.

Import a bookmarks file

Select the HTML file to import.

After you import bookmarks, they appear in the sidebar below Bookmarks in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.

Import a passwords file

Select the CSV file to import.

Enter the login password for your Mac.

If a password you’re importing doesn’t match a password you’ve saved to your Mac, you can see the related account, username and password saved to your Mac, then choose which one to keep. See At least one password wasn’t imported .

Click Delete “ filename .csv” to protect the security of your accounts.

WARNING: The CSV file is not encrypted and anyone reading the file can see your passwords.

Export a bookmarks file

The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html”.

To use the exported bookmarks in another browser, import the file named “Safari Bookmarks.html”.

Export a passwords file

Click Export Passwords.

WARNING: Your passwords are exported to a CSV file. The CSV file is not encrypted and anyone reading the file can see your passwords.

Enter a name and choose a location for the CSV file, then click Save.

To use the exported passwords in another browser, import the CSV file you created.

Export option in the new Microsoft Edge for macOS

So recently I wanted to export my Microsoft Edge for macOS browser data (bookmarks, etc.) into an HTML file so I could import it to my secondary browser Safari.

After looking through Edge's settings, I could not find an export option, rather an import option. But I do not want to import my data, only export it.

Does anyone know where the export option is, or is there none? If there is no option, I mean I could manually bookmark my stuff on Safari but I just want to use the easy way.

Thanks for any help.
