To export your Chrome bookmarks, you use Chrome’s built‑in Bookmark Manager to save them as an HTML file that you can back up or import into another browser. This works almost the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.

Basic steps (desktop)

  • Open Google Chrome.
  • Click the three dots (Customize and control) in the top‑right corner.
  • Go to Bookmarks → Bookmark manager (or press Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows/Linux, Command+Option+B on Mac).
  • In Bookmark Manager, click the three‑dot icon near the search bar at the top.
  • Choose Export bookmarks.
  • In the save dialog, pick a folder (e.g., Documents, external drive, or cloud storage), keep the default name like bookmarks_…html or choose your own, and click Save.
  • Your bookmarks are now stored in that HTML file , ready to be imported into Chrome or another browser later.

Importing later (any browser)

  • In the target browser, open its Bookmarks/Import menu.
  • Choose Import from HTML file (wording varies slightly per browser).
  • Select the exported HTML bookmarks file and confirm; the browser will add all saved bookmarks.

Quick tips and notes

  • For a simple backup , just keep the HTML file in cloud storage or on a USB drive.
  • If you prefer not to export manually, Chrome Sync can also keep bookmarks backed up to your Google account across devices.
  • The export includes regular bookmark folders such as the bookmarks bar and other bookmarks in one file.
