How to Migrate from Notion to Marqly
Notion is a powerful workspace, but saving thousands of bookmarks in a database can be clunky. Here is how to export your Notion bookmarks to CSV and import them seamlessly into Marqly.
What transfers from Notion to Marqly
| Data | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bookmark URLs | Preserved | Direct transfer into bookmark cards |
| Titles & Names | Preserved | Name column preserved as title |
| Tags & Multi-select | Preserved | Category and tags preserved as Marqly tags |
| Page Bodies | Not transferred | Page sub-blocks stay in Notion |
| Custom Formulas | Skipped | Complex database formulas are not parsed |
Step-by-step migration guide
Export your Notion database
Open your bookmark database in Notion, click "..." in the top right corner, choose Export, and select "Markdown & CSV".
Inspect the exported CSV
Use our free CSV to Bookmarks converter or Bookmark File Viewer to confirm URLs, titles, and tags before uploading.
Import into Marqly
Log in to app.marqly.com, open Settings → Import Bookmarks, and select your file. Your links and tags will be ready instantly.

| Field | Outcome | What it means for your library |
|---|---|---|
| URL | Supported | Verbatim — query strings (including signed or tracking parameters) and fragments are preserved; nothing is normalized away. |
| Title | Supported | With HTML entities decoded (& → &). |
| Tags & multi-select properties | Supported | Notion tags or category select columns import directly into Marqly tags. |
| Page content & sub-blocks | Not supported | Notion page bodies inside the database items do not transfer into bookmark metadata. |
| Custom database properties | Not supported | Extra formula, rollup, and relation columns are skipped; URLs, titles, and tags are preserved. |
| Saved date | Not supported | The export carries it (ADD_DATE/created) and the parser reads it, but the import stores items with the import date. Sort by “recently added” after a big import with that in mind. |
| Duplicates | Not supported | Import writes every row; no dedup pass runs. Check the export first with the free duplicate finder, or clean up in Marqly after import. |

Frequently asked questions about Notion migration
How does Marqly parse a Notion database CSV?
Marqly’s importer automatically aliases URL, Name/Title, and Tags/Multi-select columns, turning database rows into rich bookmark cards.
Are Notion page bodies imported into Marqly?
No. Notion page sub-blocks remain inside Notion. Marqly imports the links, page titles, and taxonomy tags for fast bookmark retrieval.
Why migrate bookmarks from Notion to Marqly?
Notion databases can become slow with thousands of bookmarks and lack dedicated browser highlighters, reading modes, and YouTube transcripts.
Is Marqly free?
