# Importing and exporting bookmarks

You can import bookmarks from Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, OmniWeb, and Firefox. You can also import a Safari bookmarks.plist file if you’ve saved one from an older Mac computer.

To import bookmarks:

1. Choose File > Import Bookmarks.

2. Browse to find the file that contains the bookmarks you want to import, and then click Import (on Windows, click Open). Normally the file will have “.html” or “.plist” at the end of its name.

If you don’t have a file to import, or can’t find the file, you may need to export the bookmarks from the other browser.

Exporting bookmarks from another browser

To export bookmarks:

1. Choose File > Export Bookmarks.

2. Specify a location for the exported file. The file’s name will be “Safari bookmarks.html.” Most browsers are able to import this type of file.

The first time you open Safari, it automatically imports your bookmarks from Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and Firefox.
