Transferring your Pocket bookmarks to Bookmark Ninja

When you export your bookmarks from Pocket, the only available format is CSV. Unfortunately, Pocket does not support the standard HTML bookmarks format. As a result, transferring bookmarks from Pocket to Bookmark Ninja (or other bookmark managers) requires an extra step to convert the CSV file into an HTML bookmarks file.

Step 1: Export Your Bookmarks from Pocket

1. In Pocket, select Export, then click Export CSV File.
2. Pocket will email you a link to download a ZIP file containing a CSV file with your bookmarks data.

Step 2: Convert the CSV to an HTML Bookmarks File

1. Open this link in your browser: https://webcull.com/free-tools/pocket-export-to-bookmarks-html-import-file
2. Click Browse under "Choose your Pocket Export ZIP file" and select the ZIP file you downloaded from Pocket.
3. Click Download HTML to get the converted bookmarks file.

Step 3: Import the Bookmarks into Bookmark Ninja

1. Go to www.bookmarkninja.com in your browser.
2. From the main menu, select Tools/Import Bookmarks.
3. Click Browse and select the HTML bookmarks file.
4. Click Import.

After Importing

All bookmarks will be placed in the Catalog. Pocket tags will be preserved, and any collections used in Pocket will be added as tags.

On the My Bookmarks page, you can further organize your bookmarks by filtering them by tags. You can also move frequently used bookmarks from the Catalog to your Dashboard for quicker access.

Improvement: Adding Emails and Phone Numbers as Links

In addition to the most common link protocols (such as http://, https://, ftp://, ftps://, etc.), you can now add phone numbers (tel:) and email addresses (mailto:) as links.

Clicking these links will automatically initiate a call (on mobile browsers) or open the default email client with the recipient’s email pre-filled in the “To” field.

How to Add a Phone Number or Email to the Dashboard:

(1) Open the Dashboard in Bookmark Ninja (click Dashboard in the main menu).

(2) Click the gear icon next to a category name.

(3) Select Add Bookmark.

(4) In the Title field, enter the name of the phone number’s or email’s owner.
