Do you find that you are doing more and more Web surfing on your iPad?

You are definitely not alone, as an increasing number of people are finding that the ease of using an iPad for normal Web browsing is far more convenient than getting out a laptop computer and waiting for it to boot up.

As a matter of fact, I find that I use my iPad more frequently than my laptop, and tend to only use my laptop if I need to specifically use a powerful program on the computer, like Photoshop, or if I have to do a lot of typing.

But my increase in iPad Web browsing has led to the majority of my bookmarks being located on the iPad, which can make it inconvenient to find that bookmark later on my computer.

You can rectify this problem by using iCloud to export bookmarks from your iPad to your computer.

How to Export Bookmarks on Your iPad

Are you an iPad user who needs to export and save your bookmarks? Do you want to sync your iPad bookmarks across other Apple devices? If so, this blog post is for you!

Exporting your bookmarks from Safari on your iPad is a simple process. To start, first, open the Safari app. Once in Safari, go to File in the menu bar at the top of the screen and select “Export Bookmarks”. You will then be prompted to enter a name and target for where the bookmarks file should be saved (the default target is the desktop). Once you have entered this information, click “Save” and your bookmarks will be exported.

You can also sync your iPad bookmarks across all your other Apple devices. To do this, go to Settings on the device you want to sync with and tap on your name at the top of the list. Then select iCloud and scroll down to Safari. Flip the switch next to Safari to green, which will turn sharing on – if you already have bookmarks on your iPad device, you will also be asked if you want to merge them with existing local bookmarks.

Once syncing is complete, all of your saved websites will be accessible across all of your Apple devices – saving time by not having to re-enter information each time!

We hope this blog post has been helpful in guiding you through exporting and syncing your iPad bookmarks!

Transferring Bookmarks From One iPad to Another

First, make sure that Safari’s iCloud bookmark sync feature is enabled on both iPads. To do this, go to the Settings app, tap your name at the top of the list, and then tap iCloud. Scroll down to Safari and make sure the switch next to it is turned green. Once this is done, any bookmarks stored in your iCloud account will be synced across devices with the same Apple ID. If you would like to transfer bookmarks from one iPad to another without using an iCloud account, you can use iTunes or a third-party file-sharing app such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Just export your bookmarks from one device using iTunes or your preferred file-sharing app and import them into your other device.

Saving Bookmarks on an iPad

Your bookmarks from Safari should now be imported into Chrome!

Transferring Bookmarks from Tablet to Computer

Once enabled, any changes made to bookmarks on either device will automatically be reflected on the other device shortly after.

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren: Nimm alle deine Bookmarks mit

Vincent Ebneth

Du kannst deine Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren, um sie in einen anderen Browser zu integrieren. Wie das funktioniert, erfährst du hier.

Eine Frau sitzt an einem Tisch

Du kannst deine Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren, um sie in einen anderen Browser zu integrieren. Wie das funktioniert, erfährst du hier.

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren vom Mac und iPhone – beides geht

Sowohl von deinem Mac als auch von deinem iPhone kannst du die Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren. Beide Vorgänge unterscheiden sich jedoch grundlegend. Wir zeigen dir beide Varianten.

Wenn du bisher Lesezeichen nur in deinem Safari-Browser gespeichert hast, wäre es doch schade, die gesicherten Webseiten bei einem Browser-Wechsel zu verlieren. Also nimmst du deine Bookmarks einfach mit. Und das geht so.

#1 Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren vom Mac

Um auf deinem Mac die Safari-Lesezeichen zu exportieren, brauchst du keine extra Programme oder Apps. Apple stellt dir diese Funktion automatisch zur Verfügung. Bei deinem Mac gehst du einfach so vor:

  • Starte den Safari-Browser.
  • In der Menüleiste klickst du auf „Ablage“.
  • Dort wählst du „Lesezeichen exportieren“ aus.
  • Nun kannst du bei „Sichern unter“ einen Dateinamen festlegen und bei „Ort“ einen Speicherort auf deinem Mac bestimmen. Du kannst die Datei natürlich auch auf einen externen Wechseldatenträger wie zum Beispiel auf einem USB-Stick speichern.
  • Klicke anschließend auf „Sichern“.

Wenn du keinen Dateinamen und/oder Speicherort festlegst, wird die Datei auf deinem virtuellen Schreibtisch abgelegt und heißt „Safari-Lesezeichen.html“.

#2 Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren von iOS (iPhone & iPad)

Leider steht dir die nützliche Funktion zum Exportieren deiner Safari-Lesezeichen unter iOS nicht zur Verfügung. Aber durch einen kleinen Umweg über iCloud ist es trotzdem möglich, Lesezeichen mitzunehmen. Gehe wie folgt vor:

  • Öffne die Einstellungen auf deinem iOS-Gerät.
  • Tippe auf dein Apple-Konto.
  • Wähle nun „iCloud“ aus.
  • Suche nach der „Safari-App“ und lege den Schalter auf Grün.
  • Jetzt hast du die iCloud-Synchronisierung für deinen Safari-Browser aktiviert. Deine gespeicherten Lesezeichen landen nun automatisch in der iCloud. Um sie nun zu exportieren, kannst du sie ganz einfach als HTML-Datei aus dem iCloud-Speicher runterladen.

#3 So importierst du deine Safari-Lesezeichen: Beispiel Google Chrome

Wenn du deine Safari-Lesezeichen bei Google Chrome nutzen willst, gehe folgendermaßen vor:

  • Voraussetzung ist, dass du die HTML-Datei runtergeladen und auf deinem Endgerät gespeichert hast.
  • Starte den Google Chrome-Browser.
  • Tippe oben rechts auf das Drei-Punkte-Menü.
  • Wähle „Einstellungen“ und dann „Lesezeichen und Einstellungen importieren“ aus.
  • Klicke ganz oben auf das Drop-Down-Menü und wähle „Lesezeichen-HTML-Datei“ aus.
  • Stelle sicher, dass bei „Favoriten/Lesezeichen“ das Häkchen gesetzt ist.
  • Klicke auf „Datei auswählen“.
  • Suche nun nach dem Speicherort der HTML-Datei und wähle sie aus.
  • Abschließend klickst du noch auch „Fertig“. Jetzt sind deine Safari-Lesezeichen im Google Chrome-Browser integriert.

Fazit: Lesezeichen mitnehmen, geht schnell und einfach

In kurzer Zeit und mit wenigen Klicks kannst du deine Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren und sie in einem anderen Browser wie zum Beispiel Google Chrome integrieren. Somit gehen dir deine gespeicherten Bookmarks bei einem Browser-Wechsel nicht veloren. Wenn du deinen Browser auf den neuesten Stand bringen willst, kannst du Safari aktualisieren . Ungehindert surfen kannst du mit Hilfe eines Adblockers in Safari. Und hast du ausversehen mal offene Webseiten geschlossen, zeigen wir dir Tricks, mit denen du Tabs wiederherstellen kannst.

How to export Safari bookmarks from your iPhone or iPad to a Mac or PC

If you keep certain pages bookmarked in Safari on your iPhone or iPad and want to export those same bookmarks to your Mac or PC, then you’re in luck because there’s a way you can do this without wasting too much of your time.

We’ll show you how you can do it on both your Mac and your Windows computer.

Safari bookmarks on iPhone

Make sure iCloud handles your bookmarks

To export your iPhone’s Safari bookmarks to your Mac or PC, you need to have iCloud syncing enabled for Safari on your iPhone and the device you want to sync with. Follow these steps to do that:

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  • Tap your name from the top.
  • Hit iCloud > Show All and make sure the switch next to Safari is enabled.

After you enable this setting, your bookmarks from Safari on your iOS device are going to be uploaded to iCloud, so your other iCloud-enabled devices can sync them. So, make sure all your devices are connected to the internet.

Export iPhone or iPad bookmarks

To your mac.

If you followed the steps above, then your iOS device’s bookmarks are already in the cloud at this point, and now you can start exporting them to your computer. This section will show you how to do that on your Mac.

To start, go to the Apple menu  > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and make sure you have a checkmark in the Safari checkbox.

Now that you have enabled Safari bookmarks syncing via iCloud on your Mac, the bookmarks you uploaded from your iOS device will now be downloaded to Safari on your Mac.

Next, launch Safari on your Mac and go to File > Export > Bookmarks… from the Menu Bar.

Export Safari bookmarks on Mac

When prompted, choose a place to save the export and click on the blue Save button:

Export Safari Bookmarks to HTML file

Now you should be left with an HTML file that contains all your bookmarks:

HTML File Safari Bookmarks

Import Safari bookmarks to Chrome or Firefox

You can use this as a backup if you ever need to import your bookmarks to Safari again or another web browser like Chrome or Firefox, for that matter. The import process for each web browser differs, but all browsers should be able to import that file. Here’s how:

Chrome : Open Chrome on your Mac and click the three dots icon from the top right. Here, pick Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings . Next, click the dropdown menu and choose Bookmarks HTML File . Finally, click Choose File , select the Safari Bookmarks HTML file and hit Open .

Import bookmarks and settings in Chrome on Mac

Firefox : Launch Firefox on Mac and press Command + Shift + O to go to Bookmarks manager. From here, click the two-arrow icon and choose Import Bookmarks from HTML .

Import bookmarks from HTML in Firefox on Mac

To your Windows PC

If you have a Windows machine, things are a little more convoluted because you have a different operating system that Apple has no control over. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to export your iOS device’s bookmarks to your Windows PC.

The first thing you’re going to want to do is to make sure you followed the first section of this post and enabled iCloud syncing for Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad.

Next, you need to download iCloud for Windows if you don’t already have it, which is a free download from Apple’s website. After you install it, or if you already have it installed, launch your iCloud dashboard on your PC.

Next, you’re going to want to put a checkmark in the Bookmarks checkbox:

iCloud Dashboard Internet Explorer

By default, iCloud will sync your bookmarks with Microsoft Edge (earlier Internet Explorer), but you can change this to Chrome or Firefox (depending on what you have installed) by clicking on the Options… button. Once you get the Bookmarks Options prompt, choose the web browser you want to sync with and click OK .

iCloud Windows Bookmarks

Once satisfied, click the Apply button from the main iCloud dashboard, and this will save your changes.

The very same bookmarks you have on your iOS device should now be synced to the web browser of your choice on your Windows PC.

Now that you know a way to keep your bookmarks in sync across your mobile devices and your computer, you can easily pick up on your computer where you left off on your mobile device.

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren: So sichern Sie Ihre Website-Favoriten

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren: So sichern Sie Ihre Website-Favoriten

Mac- oder iPhone-Nutzer haben mit dem standardmäßig installierten Browser Safari eine verlässliche und sichere Option für die täglichen Aktivitäten im World Wide Web. Wie andere moderne Webclients verfügt das Apple-Programm über einen Pop-up-Blocker, unterstützt die Navigation mit Registerkarten und ermöglicht das Speichern beliebter Websites als Favoriten .

Letzteres Feature erleichtert nicht nur den Aufruf von Seiten, die Sie regelmäßig besuchen, sondern gibt Ihnen etwa auch die Chance, interessante URLs für einen späteren Besuch zu speichern. Diese praktische Linksammlung können Sie sogar weiterhin verwenden, wenn Sie einmal einen anderen Browser oder ein anderes Gerät nutzen möchten – indem Sie Ihre Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren. Wie funktioniert das genau?

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren (Mac): Kurzanleitung

Schritt-für-schritt-tutorial: so exportieren sie ihre safari-lesezeichen, so exportieren sie safari-lesezeichen auf ios-geräten.

Der Favoriten-Exportvorgang in Safari lässt sich jederzeit ausführen. Da zu diesem Zweck bereits eine integrierte Funktion vorhanden ist, benötigen Sie nämlich keine speziellen Tools oder Browser-Erweiterungen. Das Apple-Programm sichert Ihre Favoriten dabei immer in einer HTML-Datei , die sich in alle gängigen Webclients einbinden lässt. Die erforderlichen Schritte für den Safari-Lesezeichen-Export sind in Kürze wie folgt:

  • Starten Sie Safari.
  • Wählen Sie in der Menüleiste den Reiter „ Ablage “ aus.
  • Klicken Sie auf den Punkt „ Lesezeichen exportieren “.
  • Geben Sie einen Namen und den gewünschten Speicherort (standardmäßig ist der Schreibtisch als Ablageort angegeben) für die Lesezeichen-Datei an.
  • Drücken Sie zum Abschluss auf „ Sichern “.

Das exportierte HTML-Dokument können Sie auch ganz gewöhnlich mit dem Browser Ihrer Wahl öffnen, um die Favoriten-Sammlung auf diesem Wege anzeigen zu lassen. Wollen Sie die Lesezeichen hingegen in eine andere Safari-Installation importieren , ist es erforderlich, wie in folgendem Artikel über den Lesezeichen-Import in Safari  beschrieben vorzugehen.

Das folgende Tutorial stellt den Prozess noch einmal etwas detaillierter dar und geht auch auf die Möglichkeit ein, nur bestimmte bzw. einzelne Safari-Lesezeichen zu exportieren, ohne dass Sie dafür die gesamte Liste in einem externen Dokument speichern müssen.

Als erstes starten Sie den Webbrowser . Hierfür können Sie wahlweise auf das Safari-Icon in Ihrem Menüband klicken, die Spotlight-Suche verwenden oder im Finder zu der Startdatei des Programms navigieren.

Nachdem Sie Safari geöffnet haben, klicken Sie in der oberen Menüleiste auf „Ablage“ und wählen anschließend den Punkt „ Lesezeichen exportieren “ aus:

Safari-Ablage-Menü: „Lesezeichen exportieren“-Schaltfläche

Im Safari-Lesezeichen-Export-Menü haben Sie nun die Möglichkeit, drei Einstellungen zu treffen: In der ersten Zeile („Sichern unter“) geben Sie den gewünschten Namen für die Lesezeichen-Datei an – dieser lässt sich im Nachhinein jederzeit ändern. In der zweiten Zeile können Sie einen oder mehrere Tags wählen , falls Sie das Mac-Tagging-System zur Organisation Ihrer Dateien nutzen und das exportierte HTML-Dokument in eine bzw. mehrere Kategorien einordnen möchten:

Safari-Lesezeichen-Export: Optionale Zuordnung von Tags

In der dritten und letzten Zeile bestimmen Sie schließlich noch den Speicherort für das Lesezeichen-Dokument . Dabei können Sie sowohl einen lokalen Ablageort als auch ein externes Wechselmedium wie einen angeschlossenen USB-Stick auswählen. Nachdem Sie Ihre Auswahl getroffen haben, starten Sie die Sicherung der Lesezeichen per Klick auf „ Sichern “:

Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren in macOS

Wollen Sie nur ein einzelnes Safari-Lesezeichen exportieren , gibt es hierfür zwar keine eigene Funktion, aber einen kleinen und sehr einfachen Trick: Sie rufen die Liste Ihrer Favoriten auf und ziehen das gewünschte Lesezeichen bei gedrückt gehaltener linker Maustaste auf den Schreibtisch:

Das daraufhin erzeugte Webdokument lässt sich zwar nicht auf dem gewohnten Weg einbinden, aber dafür mit jedem gängigen Browser öffnen . Die Website hinter dem Lesezeichen wird dann automatisch aufgerufen. Anschließend können Sie diese im neuen Browser wiederum als Favoriten speichern .

Nutzen Sie Safari auf einem iOS-Gerät, also auf einem iPhone oder einem iPad, können Sie Ihre Lesezeichen leider nicht so einfach in einen anderen Browser bzw. auf ein anderes Gerät übertragen. Eine Export-Funktion wie in der Desktop-Version des Apple-Webclients gibt es in dem mobilen Pendant nämlich nicht. Sie können Ihre Einstellungen und Webaktivitäten in Safari allerdings mit iCloud synchronisieren und Ihre Lesezeichen damit im Apple-Onlinespeicher ablegen, um sie zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt in andere Browser zu importieren.

Um die iCloud-Synchronisierung für Safari zu aktivieren , rufen Sie im ersten Schritt die Einstellungen auf und drücken dort auf Ihr persönliches Apple-Konto:

iOS: Menü „Einstellungen"

In der Apple-ID-Verwaltung, die daraufhin erscheint, drücken Sie auf die Schaltfläche „ iCloud “:

Apple-ID-Menü in iOS

Sie sehen nun eine Auflistung aller Apps, die sich mit iCloud synchronisieren lassen. Die Onlinespeicherung ist dann aktiviert, wenn der Schieberegler beim Eintrag der jeweiligen Applikation rechts ist. Scrollen Sie also bis zum Punkt „ Safari “ und markieren Sie den Browser für die Synchronisierung:

Auswahl der Apps für die iCloud-Synchronisierung

Sobald Sie dies erledigt haben, werden Ihre Safari-Lesezeichen immer automatisch in Ihren iCloud-Speicher exportiert .

Für den späteren Import der in iCloud gespeicherten Lesezeichen in einen anderen Browser bzw. eine andere Safari-Installation muss die iCloud-App auf dem Zielgerät installiert sein.

How to export Safari bookmarks: Saving your favorite websites

The default browser Safari gives Mac or iPhone users a reliable and secure option for their daily activities on the World Wide Web. Like other modern web clients, Apple’s app has a pop-up blocker, supports tabbed browsing and lets users save websites as Favorites .

This feature not only makes it easier for you to open the pages you visit regularly, it also gives an opportunity to save interesting URLs to visit later. You can even continue to use this practical collection of links when using another browser or another device – by exporting your Safari bookmarks. How does it work?

Exporting Safari bookmarks (Mac): Quick guide

Step-by-step tutorial: how to export your safari bookmarks, how to export safari bookmarks on ios devices.

You can export Favorites in Safari at any time. As the software has an integrated export function , you don’t need any special tools or browser add-ons. The Apple program always saves your bookmarks in an HTML file that can be integrated in all standard web clients. Here is a quick guide to the steps required to export bookmarks from Safari:

  • Open Safari.
  • In the menu bar, select the “ File ” tab.
  • Click “ Export Bookmarks ”.
  • Enter a name and the target (the default target is the desktop) for the bookmarks file.
  • Click “ Save ” to complete the process.

You can open the exported HTML document with the browser of your choice to view your favorites collection in it. However, if you want to import your bookmarks into another Safari installation , you have to proceed as described in this  article on importing bookmarks in Safari .

The following tutorial presents the process in greater detail and describes how to export specific or individual Safari bookmarks without having to save them in an external document.

First, open the browser . To do so, either click the Safari symbol in your Dock, use the Spotlight search function or navigate to the program file in Finder.

Once you have opened Safari, click “File” in the menu bar at the top, and then select “ Export Bookmarks ”:

Safari File menu: “Export Bookmarks” button

You can then make selections for three settings in the Safari Export Bookmarks menu: In the first line, (“Save As”), enter a name for the bookmarks file – you can rename it at any time. In the second line, you can choose one or more tags if you use the Mac tag system to organize your files and want to assign the HTML document to one or more categories:

In the third and last line, you set the destination for saving the bookmarks document . You can choose either a local storage location or an external medium like a connected USB stick. After you make your selection, you can start backing up your bookmarks by clicking “ Save ”.

Exporting Safari bookmarks in macOS

If you only want to export a single Safari bookmark , there is no dedicated function for this, but there is a very simple little trick: Open your Favorites list and drag the bookmark in question to the Desktop by clicking and holding the left mouse button:

Safari and Desktop in macOS

While you can’t import the web document created in this way as you usually would, you can open it with any standard browser . The bookmarked website is then opened automatically. You can then save the site as a favorite in your new browser .

If you use Safari on an iOS device, i.e. on an iPhone or iPad, unfortunately it’s not as easy to transfer your bookmarks to another browser or device. The mobile version does not have an export function like the Desktop version of the Apple web client. However, you can synchronize your settings and web activities in Safari with iCloud , letting Apple save your bookmarks online, which enables you to import them to another browser at a later point in time.

To activate iCloud synchronization for Safari , first open the Settings and then tap your personal Apple account:

iOS: “Settings” menu

Tap the “ iCloud ” button in the Apple ID menu, which then opens:

Apple ID menu in iOS

You will then see a list of all apps that can be synchronized with iCloud. Online backups are active when the Slider for the entry of the respective applications is switched to the right . Scroll down to “ Safari ” and select the browser for synchronization:

Choosing apps for iCloud synchronization

Once you do that, your Safari bookmarks are always exported to your iCloud account automatically .

To import the bookmarks stored in iCloud to another browser or another Safari installation, the iCloud app has to be installed on the target device.

  • Find Your Safari Bookmarks
  • Add Bookmarks to Home Screen
  • Add Custom Bookmark Folders
  • Extra: Delete or Edit Safari Bookmarks

The Safari web browser on your iPad supports bookmarks so that you can quickly return to your favorite websites. You can make Safari bookmarks whenever you want, or remove old bookmarks to de-clutter your browser .

Bookmarking on your iPad is done directly from the Safari app, and you can do it in seconds from any web page. Once you've made a Safari bookmark, you can access it from the bookmarks pop-out menu or from a new tab.

The screenshots in the steps below are of Safari in iOS 12 , but the written steps should work for other versions of iOS , too, including iOS 13 .

Bookmarks work in both regular mode and Private Browsing Mode , but the bookmarks you create during a private browsing session are stored along with the pages saved in normal mode. In other words, there isn't a separate area for private bookmarks.

How to Bookmark a Website in Safari

The key to saving a website as a bookmark in Safari is the share button .

Visit the web page you want to bookmark in Safari.

Tap the share button to the right of the address bar at the top of Safari, and select Add Bookmark .

If you don't see the address bar or the share button at the top of Safari, scroll to the very top of the page. This will automatically show the entire menu.

Change the name of the bookmark if you want, otherwise you can keep it as the default, auto-generated name.

You can also use this time to pick a different bookmark folder. To make a new one now, tap the folder listed under LOCATION and then choose New Folder . To make multiple folders one after another, see the tutorial further on down this page.

Choose Save to make the Safari bookmark.

How to Find Your Safari Bookmarks

The bookmarks you make in Safari are stored in the Favorites folder by default, which you can access by selecting the bookmark button (represented by an open book icon) on the left of the address bar.

Another way to access bookmarks on your iPad is to open a new browser tab with the plus sign at the top right corner of the app . In the new tab is a list of sites in the Favorites folder as well as a side panel of all your other custom bookmark folders.

Bookmarks you've added to your home screen are just icons on the home screen, resembling any other app. You can even move them around like other apps , too.

How to Add a Safari Bookmark to Your iPad Home Screen

Bookmarks can also be added directly on your home screen so that you can open them immediately without having to launch Safari first. When you tap a home screen bookmark, it immediately opens in Safari.

To do this, tap the share button on the right side of the address bar and choose Add to Home Screen . Name the bookmark whatever you want, and then tap Add .

How to Add Custom Bookmark Folders in Safari

The default folder for bookmarks on your iPad is called Favorites , but you can organize your saved pages into other folders, too.

Select the bookmarks button (the open book icon) at the top left of Safari. If you don't see this menu, scroll to the very top of the page.

From the bookmarks tab, tap Edit at the bottom.

Select New Folder .

Name the folder something memorable.

If you have other folders already created, you can nest one folder within another by selecting the other folder at this time.

Tap Done on the keyboard to save the folder, and then Done once more from the Bookmarks menu.

You can now tap the bookmark button to toggle it off and return to the web page.

How to Delete or Edit Safari Bookmarks on iPad

It's unlikely that every bookmark you ever create will stay forever. Maybe you've come to find out that you don't use it as often as you thought you would, or maybe the site is no longer online. You can edit or delete these bookmarks at any time.

Just open the bookmarks menu and tap Edit to see a red minus button that you can use to delete folders you've made or bookmarks you've created. Tap Delete to confirm.

To edit a bookmark or folder name, follow the same steps but select the item itself instead of the red icon, and then make the name change as you see fit.

Once Safari is launched, you'll need to access your bookmarks to initiate the process of exporting or importing them.

Accessing Bookmarks on Mac

If you're using Safari on a Mac, accessing your bookmarks is a straightforward process. Simply open Safari and look for the bookmarks icon in the toolbar.

Clicking on this icon will reveal a drop-down menu displaying your bookmarks and bookmark folders. You can then select the specific bookmarks or folders you wish to manage.

Navigating Bookmarks

Once you've accessed your bookmarks, you can navigate through the list to locate the specific bookmarks or folders you intend to manage. Safari provides a user-friendly interface for organizing and accessing bookmarks, making it easy to find the websites you've saved for quick access.

Whether you're transitioning to Safari from a different browser or simply looking to consolidate your bookmarks, the import process is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly.

Importing Bookmarks on Mac

If you're using Safari on a Mac and wish to import bookmarks from another browser, follow these steps:

Open Safari on your Mac and ensure that you have access to the bookmarks you intend to import.

From the Safari menu at the top of the screen, select "File" and then "Import From" followed by the name of the browser from which you wish to import bookmarks. Safari supports the import of bookmarks from popular browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, allowing you to seamlessly transition your bookmark collection.

After selecting the browser from which you want to import bookmarks, Safari will initiate the import process, bringing in your saved websites and organizing them within your Safari bookmarks.

Importing Bookmarks on iPhone or iPad

For users of Safari on iPhone or iPad, the process of importing bookmarks from another source is equally intuitive:

Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and ensure that you have access to the bookmarks you wish to import.

Tap the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the screen to access your bookmarks and bookmark folders.

Tap "Edit" at the bottom of the bookmarks screen, then select "Import" to initiate the import process. Safari on iOS devices allows you to import bookmarks from files or other sources, enabling a seamless transfer of your saved websites.

Organizing Imported Bookmarks

Once you've completed the import process, Safari will neatly organize the imported bookmarks within your existing bookmark structure. This ensures that your newly imported websites are easily accessible and integrated into your browsing experience.

By following these simple steps, you can effortlessly import your bookmarks into Safari, allowing you to consolidate your saved websites and enjoy a unified browsing experience across your Apple devices.

Safari-lesezeichen exportieren: so geht’s.

19. Januar 2021

  • Constantin Flemming

Book­marks sind prak­tisch, doch wie lassen sich Safari-Leseze­ichen exportieren? Die Kurzant­wort: Sowohl auf dem Mac als auch mit dem iPhone oder iPad ist der Prozess sehr ein­fach. So gehst Du vor, wenn Du in einem anderen Brows­er schnell auf Deine gespe­icherten Lieblings-URLs zugreifen möcht­est.

Safari: Lesezeichen auf dem Mac exportieren

Bis­lang bist Du via Safari von ein­er Web­seit­en-Welle zur anderen gesurft, doch jet­zt reizt Dich ein Brows­er-Wech­sel. Was geschieht dann mit Deinen Leseze­ichen? Um die prak­tis­chen Book­marks nicht zu ver­lieren, nimmst Du sie ein­fach mit. Das gelingt Dir auf dem Mac mit dem Leseze­ichen-Export.

Du benötigst dafür keine exter­nen Pro­gramme oder ähn­lich­es, denn Safari hält eine Funk­tion zum sim­plen Export schon werk­seit­ig bere­it. So sich­erst Du Deine Leseze­ichen als HTML-Datei:

  • Starte den Safari-Brows­er.
  • Klicke in der Menüleiste auf „Ablage”.
  • Wäh­le „Leseze­ichen exportieren” aus.
  • Bes­timme bei „Sich­ern unter” den Dateina­men.
  • Definiere bei „Ort” den Spe­icherort.
  • Klicke auf „Sich­ern”.

Die HTML-Datei mit den exportierten Safari-Leseze­ichen befind­et sich in der Regel unter dem Namen „Safari-Lesezeichen.html” auf Deinem virtuellen Schreibtisch. Es sei denn, Du bes­timmst den Dateina­men und Spe­icherort manuell. In dem Fall kann auf Wun­sch auch einen exter­nen Wech­sel­da­ten­träger als Zielort fungieren. Anson­sten wählst Du einen lokalen Spe­icherort auf Deinem Mac aus.

Lesezeichen unter iOS sichern

Auf dem iPhone oder iPad existiert die hil­fre­iche Funk­tion zum Exportieren von Safari-Leseze­ichen lei­der nicht. Hier führt Dich Dein Weg stattdessen über iCloud:

  • Öffne die Ein­stel­lun­gen auf dem Mobil­gerät.
  • Tippe auf Dein Apple-Kon­to.
  • Tippe auf „iCloud”.
  • Suche die „Safari”-App.
  • Lege den Schal­ter auf Grün.

Die iCloud-Syn­chro­nisierung ist jet­zt für den Apple-Brows­er aktiviert und Deine Favoriten lan­den automa­tisch im iCloud-Spe­ich­er. Um die Safari-Leseze­ichen zu exportieren, musst Du sie dann nur noch aus der Cloud als HTML-Datei herun­ter­laden.

Safari-Lesezeichen importieren – am Beispiel von Google Chrome

Du möcht­est die gesicherten Safari-Book­marks in einem anderen Brows­er nutzen? Dafür importierst Du die Datei mit der „.html”-Endung ein­fach. Wir erk­lären Dir den Vor­gang am Beispiel von Google Chrome:

  • Starte den Chrome-Brows­er.
  • Öffne oben rechts das Menü über die drei Punk­te.
  • Klicke auf „Ein­stel­lun­gen”.
  • Wäh­le „Leseze­ichen und Ein­stel­lun­gen importieren” aus.
  • Öffne das Drop-down-Menü.
  • Wäh­le „Leseze­ichen-HTML-Datei” aus.
  • Stelle sich­er, dass „Favoriten/Lesezeichen” aktiviert ist.
  • Klicke auf „Datei auswählen”.
  • Suche die HTML-Datei.
  • Klicke auf „Fer­tig”.

How can I transfer my Safari bookmarks with my iPhone Safari?

How can I share my Safari bookmarks with my iPhone Safari?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hello gbailie,

To transfer Safari bookmarks from your iPhone to another device, you can use the iCloud service provided by Apple. Here's how to do it:

  • On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
  • Tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your iCloud settings.
  • Tap on iCloud.
  • Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  • Turn on the toggle next to "iCloud Bookmarks".

This will sync your Safari bookmarks to your iCloud account, which you can then access on other devices by signing in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.

To access your bookmarks on another device:

  • On the other device, open the Safari app.
  • Tap on the bookmarks icon (it looks like an open book).
  • Tap on the iCloud tab at the top of the screen.
  • Your bookmarks will be listed here.

Alternatively, you can also transfer your bookmarks by exporting them from Safari on your iPhone and importing them into the browser on your other device. To do this:

  • On your iPhone, open the Safari app.
  • Tap on the bookmarks icon.
  • Tap on the bookmarks tab at the bottom of the screen.
  • Tap on the Edit button in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Tap on the bookmark you want to export.
  • Tap on the Share button (it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it).
  • Tap on the "Add to Home Screen" option.
  • Enter a name for the bookmark and tap on the Add button.

This will create a bookmark on your home screen that links to the page. You can then transfer this bookmark to your other device by emailing it to yourself or using a file-sharing app.

If this doesn't help please view this link --> If your iCloud or Safari bookmarks aren’t syncing - Apple Support

If none of these work please contact Apple Customer Service.

Best regards,

KevTechSupport

How to add and manage bookmarks on safari for iphone.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa. But bookmarks aren't quite as simple and obvious on the iPhone as they are on the Mac. Here's how to create and manage them on iOS.

Adding bookmarks on your iPhone is easy, but it's not immediately obvious. The first thing you're likely to do is fumble around in your existing bookmarks before you realize that isn't working. What you have to do if you want to add a bookmark is to tap the Share icon as shown below in red.

Once the Share menu opens, you'll be able to then add the current website to your bookmarks or Favorites. You also have the option to add a site to your reading list, in case you want to read it later, offline, or you can pin it to your Home Screen.

Once you know how to add bookmarks, you can rename them, add them to folders, or delete them.

To manage your Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad, first tap the Bookmarks icon along the bottom row.

Now, in the bookmarks screen, tap the "Edit" button in the bottom-right corner.

Now the edit mode will appear. Next to each bookmark or folder there is a "-" symbol, which means you can tap it and delete stuff.

Tap the "New Folder" link, and you can create a new folder to stash new or current bookmarks. Give your new folder a catchy title and indicate where you want it to reside under the "Location" option.

When you tap "Location", your bookmarks structure will expand and you can tap where you want the new folder to go.

To edit any bookmark, you simply need to tap on one while in edit mode. The "Edit Bookmark" screen will open where you can then give any bookmark a new name, fix URL issues, and like new folders, place it in an appropriate location.

Finally, you may have noticed that while in edit mode, there are three gray bars that appear along the right edge of each bookmark or bookmark folder. These allow you to move stuff around, so if you want to reorder everything, just place your finger on these bars and drag it into the location you choose.

As you can see, adding, deleting, and editing bookmarks and bookmarks folders on Safari for iOS is pretty easy and once you know how to do it, we're sure you'll have your bookmarks named and arranged in exactly the order you see fit.
