How to Import Bookmarks Into Brave Browser - Brave

Open the Brave menu (three horizontal lines) > Settings > Import data, then select your source browser and choose Bookmarks to import bookmarks into Brave browser.

Here's the full process! Brave makes importing bookmarks super straightforward. Whether you're switching from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or another browser, you've got built-in migration tools ready to go.

The Import Step-by-Step

Head to the menu icon in the top-right corner. Click Settings, then look for "Import data" in the left sidebar. A window pops up asking which browser you're importing from—select your old one. Check the "Bookmarks" box (you can also grab passwords, autofill data, and history if you want).

Hit Import and wait a few seconds. Done! Your bookmarks now live in Brave.

Why This Matters

Bookmark migration keeps you from losing years of saved sites. Brave's import feature means zero manual work. No copying links one-by-one. No frustration.

The browser handles everything automatically across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS versions.

One pro tip: Before importing bookmarks, make sure your old browser is closed. Some browsers lock bookmark data while they're running, which blocks the transfer. Once that's set, the import process takes maybe 30 seconds tops.

After You Import

Your bookmarks sync instantly across Brave's interface. They'll appear in your bookmarks bar and folder structure just like they were organized before. Brave preserves the folder hierarchy, so everything stays where you expect it.

If you're also protecting your privacy (which Brave does by default with tracker blocking and ad blocking), importing bookmarks is genuinely one of the easiest browser switches you'll make. No special software needed. No complicated export files. Just click, confirm, and move on with your day.
