How do I import my Chrome bookmarks into Marqly?

Export your bookmarks from Chrome first: open the Bookmark Manager, choose “Export bookmarks,” and Chrome saves everything as a single HTML file. Then import that file into Marqly. Marqly reads the standard bookmark HTML format directly: your folder tree becomes boards (deeper nesting flattens to two levels), existing tags carry over, and on Pro its AI re-tags every imported bookmark — so a decade of “Unsorted” and forgotten folders comes out the other side as a searchable, organized library.

Step 1: export from Chrome

1. In Chrome, open the Bookmark Manager (chrome://bookmarks, or ⋮ → Bookmarks and lists → Bookmark manager).
2. Click the ⋮ menu inside the Bookmark Manager.
3. Choose Export bookmarks and save the HTML file somewhere you can find it.

That one file contains every bookmark and folder in your Chrome profile.

Step 2: import into Marqly

Sign in at app.marqly.com (free, no card required) and import the HTML file you just exported. Marqly accepts the standard browser bookmark export format — the same one Firefox, Edge, and Safari produce — so this exact workflow also works if you’re consolidating bookmarks from several browsers into one library.

What happens after the import

This is where Marqly differs from copying bookmarks between browsers. On Pro, AI tags every imported bookmark automatically — no manual filing, no re-sorting into new folders. From there, Pro semantic search works across your whole backlog: describe what you remember (“that guide about pricing SaaS tiers”) and Marqly finds it even when the title says something entirely different. More on the tagging pass in how does AI auto-tagging work.

Coming from another tool instead?

The same import flow handles more than browser bookmarks. Marqly also imports Pocket export files and Raindrop.io collections — see how do I import from Pocket and how do I import from Raindrop.
