Importing from Raindrop.io into Tagsora

Updated

On this page

Raindrop exports to CSV and to bookmarks HTML. Tagsora reads both, but for a migration the CSV is the one you want: it keeps tags, dates and, if you have them, highlights.

1. Export from Raindrop

In the Raindrop web app, open the collection you want to take with you (or All bookmarks, for everything) and look for the export option in its menu. Choose CSV.

If your account has backups configured, the backups section of the settings offers the same content.

If the menus do not match this description, search for “export” in the settings: Raindrop changes its interface from time to time.

2. Import into Tagsora

File import lives in the web app. Go to app.tagsora.com on a computer and open Settings → Import → Choose file.

Tagsora parses the CSV in your browser and tells you how many links it found before importing anything.

If you exported several collections separately, upload them one at a time: when each finishes, press Import another file.

What comes across

From the Raindrop export In Tagsora
URL Yes
Title Yes
Tags Yes
Creation date Yes
Highlights and notes Yes, if the CSV contains them
Collection / folder No (see below)
Cover image Fetched again from the original
Permanent copy of the content No

Collections do not come across (yet)

Tagsora has collections, but it does not create them from an imported file. There are two ways not to lose that structure:

  1. Export and import one collection at a time. Then, inside Tagsora, select the links and group them into a collection with the same name.
  2. Let it go. That is what we would suggest if your hierarchy was more inherited than used: when you open each link, Tagsora tags it from its content, and search by meaning finds things without needing folders.

What happens after importing

Links arrive instantly, unprocessed; each one is processed the first time you open it. Importing uses no AI quota, however big the file.

On the free plan up to 100 new links are processed per day; the rest wait for tomorrow without getting lost.

Common problems

“No links found in the file.” The CSV needs a url column. If you exported HTML and that fails too, check it is not still inside a .zip.

Fewer links imported than expected. Duplicates are not imported twice: if a URL was already in your library, the one you had is kept. The final summary counts them separately.
