Switch & Migrate
Turn a Pocket CSV export into bookmarks, a Markdown reading list, or a clean URL file.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
How it works
- Use a Pocket CSV export you already downloaded, including
part_000000.csv from the ZIP export.
- Choose whether tags should become bookmark folders or whether every article should stay in one flat list.
- The converter reads Pocket's title, URL, time_added, tags, and status columns locally in your browser.
- Download a bookmarks HTML file, Markdown reading list, or plain URL list.
Turn a Pocket shutdown export into something portable
Pocket shut down on October 8, 2025 and deleted remaining data after the export period. If you already saved the ZIP export, the CSV inside is still useful: it contains article titles, URLs, add dates, tags, and whether an item was unread or archived.
This converter turns that CSV into formats that other tools understand. Browser bookmarks HTML is the safest universal backup. Markdown is useful for notes apps and personal archives. A plain URL list is the lowest-friction format when another read-later app has a basic bulk import field.
Tags are the one imperfect part. Browser bookmarks do not support multi-tag metadata, so an article with three Pocket tags gets copied into three bookmark folders when tag grouping is enabled. If you prefer one bookmark per article, choose the flat mode and keep the original CSV as the source of truth for tags.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pocket already shut down. Can I still get my data?
Only if you exported it before the shutdown window closed. Pocket shut down on October 8, 2025 and deleted remaining data after the export period. This converter works with CSV files you already downloaded, including files named part_000000.csv from Pocket's ZIP export.
What do the columns mean?
Pocket's CSV uses title, url, time_added, tags, and status. Tags are separated with a pipe character, time_added is stored as a number of seconds since 1970 (a common way to record a date), and status usually means unread or archive. Empty titles are replaced with the URL's hostname so your bookmarks still have readable names.
How do tags map to folders?
With tag grouping turned on, each tag becomes a bookmark folder. Articles with multiple tags are copied into each matching folder because browser bookmarks do not have native multi-tag metadata. Untagged articles go into Unread or Archive based on their status.
Which read-later apps import this?
Many read-later and bookmark apps accept browser bookmarks HTML, CSV, Markdown, or plain URL lists, but each app's importer is different. If an app rejects one format, try the clean URL list or bookmarks HTML export. Keep the original Pocket CSV as your source backup.
