Bookmarks File Generator (URLs → bookmarks.html)

Turn a plain URL list into a browser-importable bookmarks file with optional titles and domain folders.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

Create a bookmarks.html file

0 valid URLs detected. Lines can use URL | Title, URL, Title, or tab-separated title format.
How to import: Chrome: Bookmark Manager → three-dot menu → Import bookmarks. Firefox: Bookmarks → Manage bookmarks → Import and Backup. Edge: Favorites → Import favorites → Favorites or bookmarks HTML file.

How it works

  1. Paste one URL per line, optionally followed by a title.
  2. Choose the folder name Chrome, Firefox, or Edge should create during import.
  3. Optionally group the generated bookmarks into domain subfolders.
  4. Download a standard bookmarks HTML file that never leaves your browser.

Turn a URL list into browser bookmarks

Sometimes the data you have is not a bookmarks export. It is a spreadsheet column, a project note, a copied tab list, or a text file from another tool. Browser bookmark managers generally want a specific HTML format, so pasting raw URLs directly usually means losing titles, folders, or both.

This generator bridges that gap. It accepts a plain list, reads optional titles after a pipe, comma, or tab, and writes a valid bookmarks.html file with the folder name you choose. The output uses the same bookmarks HTML format that Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and many other bookmark tools already understand.

If your list is long, grouping by domain can make the first import easier to scan. It is not a perfect taxonomy, but it quickly separates documentation, repos, articles, and apps without any manual sorting. Everything runs locally, so private work links stay on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I import the file into Chrome?
Download bookmarks.html, open Chrome's Bookmark Manager, choose the three-dot menu, then Import bookmarks. Chrome imports the file as a new folder, so it will not overwrite your existing bookmarks.
Can I set titles?
Yes. Put the URL first, then a pipe, comma, or tab, then the title. If you only provide a URL, the generator uses the URL itself as the bookmark title.
Can I make folders?
Yes. You can set one top-level folder name and optionally group links into subfolders by domain. For more complex nested folders, use a full bookmark converter after this first import.
Does the date matter?
Browsers store each bookmark's saved date as a raw timestamp inside the file. This generator uses the current time for each new bookmark, which is enough for sorting and importing normally.

Building link collections by hand?
