Importing from Pocket into Tagsora

Updated

On this page

Pocket shut down in 2025. If you downloaded your data before the deadline, you have a file Tagsora knows how to read.

What you need

The file you downloaded from Pocket. It may be:

  • a bookmarks HTML file (the classic getpocket.com/export format), or
  • a CSV with a URL column.

Tagsora reads both. If it arrived inside a .zip, unzip it first: you need to upload the file itself, not the archive.

1. Open Tagsora in a browser

File import is available in the web app (the mobile apps do not have it yet). Go to app.tagsora.com on a computer.

2. Settings → Import

Under Settings, tap Import and then Choose file. Pick your Pocket file.

Tagsora parses it in your own browser and tells you how many links it found before importing anything. If the number looks wrong, cancel and check you picked the right file.

3. Import

Press Import. The progress bar moves through the file in batches. When it finishes you get a summary: how many were imported, how many you already had and how many failed.

Duplicates are not failures: if a URL was already in your library, the one you already had is kept.

What comes across

What happens after importing

The links appear immediately, but they arrive raw: no summary, no automatic tags, no reader mode.

That is deliberate. Running 5,000 links through AI at once would be expensive and most of them you will never open. Instead, each link is processed the first time you open it: that is when its text is extracted, tags are suggested and it becomes findable by meaning.

In practice:

  • Importing is instant and free, however big the file. It does not consume a single unit of your AI quota.
  • The first links you open will take a few extra seconds.
  • On the free plan, up to 100 new links are processed per day. If you open more, the rest stay pending and retry the next day: no bookmark is ever lost, its processing is just deferred.

Common problems

“No links found in the file.” Usually an unopened .zip, or a CSV whose address column is not named url. Rename that column to url and try again.

Tags are missing. They only come across if the export contained them. If yours did not, nothing is really lost: when you open each link, Tagsora will suggest fresh tags from its content.

The file is enormous. There is no practical limit; the import runs in batches and you can close the tab once the summary appears.
