Import and export
Bring bookmarks in from JSON or HTML files and download a JSON backup from the Bookmarks page.
What this is for
Self-hosted SlugBase lets you Import bookmark files and Export your library as JSON from Bookmarks. Use imports to migrate from another tool or a browser export; use export for backups and moving data between instances you control.
This page documents self-hosted behavior from the core app. Hosted plans may enforce bookmark limits on import; see the Cloud product docs starting at Cloud introduction if you use slugbase.app.
Before you start
Open Bookmarks (/bookmarks). Import and export live in the toolbar More menu (More) as Import and Export.
You can also open Import via Quick Actions in the command palette (Ctrl+K / ⌘K), or from dashboard checklist links such as Import browser bookmarks when that banner is visible.
Import
Open Import
On Bookmarks, open More, then Import (dialog title Import).
Choose a file
Select Select File and pick a .json or .html file (accepted types are restricted to those extensions).
Confirm results
The app shows a summary of how many bookmarks were imported and how many failed. Close the dialog when you are done.
Supported formats
- JSON — an array of bookmark objects, each with
titleandurlfields. - HTML — Netscape bookmark format, as exported by most browsers. Files larger than 10 MB are rejected.
Only import files from sources you trust.
Export
Open Export
On Bookmarks, open More, then Export.
Save the file
The browser downloads a JSON file named like slugbase-bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD.json containing your exported bookmarks.
Export downloads a JSON file. If you need HTML format for another tool, import the JSON into that tool directly or convert it yourself.
Export from Quick Actions in the command palette runs the same flow—it navigates to Bookmarks with export triggered.
