# Import Bookmarks, Social Saves, and Videos into Cache

> Import browser bookmarks, Twitter/X saves, Reddit saves, and YouTube Watch Later into Cache — duplicates and broken links removed automatically.

Cache can pull in content you've already saved elsewhere, so you don't have to start from scratch or re-save everything by hand. Whether your saves are scattered across browser bookmarks, social media, or video platforms, a single import brings them all together into one searchable library. This page explains how to import from each supported source.

<Note>
  All imported content is private by default and is only visible to you. Nothing you import is shared publicly or with other users.
</Note>

## Browser bookmarks

If you've been saving pages in your browser, you can export them as an HTML file and upload that file directly to Cache. Follow the steps for your browser below to export your bookmarks, then upload the file to Cache.

### Export your bookmarks

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chrome">
    1. Open Chrome and click the **three-dot menu** (⋮) in the top-right corner.
    2. Go to **Bookmarks** → **Bookmark manager**.
    3. Click the **three-dot menu** inside the Bookmark manager (top-right).
    4. Select **Export bookmarks**.
    5. Choose a location to save the file — Chrome exports it as an HTML file (e.g., `bookmarks_MM_DD_YY.html`).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Firefox">
    1. Open Firefox and click the **Library** icon (or press `Ctrl+Shift+B` / `Cmd+Shift+B`).
    2. Click **Bookmarks** → **Show All Bookmarks** to open the Library window.
    3. Click **Import and Backup** in the toolbar.
    4. Select **Export Bookmarks to HTML…**
    5. Choose a save location — Firefox exports the file as `bookmarks.html`.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Safari">
    1. Open Safari and click **File** in the menu bar.
    2. Select **Export Bookmarks…**
    3. Choose a location and click **Save** — Safari exports the file as `Safari Bookmarks.html`.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Edge">
    1. Open Edge and click the **three-dot menu** (…) in the top-right corner.
    2. Go to **Favorites** → **Manage favorites**.
    3. Click the **three-dot menu** inside the Favorites panel.
    4. Select **Export favorites**.
    5. Choose a save location — Edge exports the file as an HTML file (e.g., `favorites_MM_DD_YY.html`).
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Upload to Cache

Once you have your exported HTML file:

1. Open your Cache library and navigate to **Import**.
2. Select **Browser Bookmarks** as the import type.
3. Click **Choose File** and select the HTML file you exported from your browser.
4. Click **Import** — Cache will process the file and add your bookmarks to your library.

## Social apps

Cache can connect to your social accounts to import content you've already saved, such as Twitter/X saved posts and Reddit saved posts. Rather than exporting files, these connections use a direct integration that syncs your saves automatically.

To set up a social app connection, see [Social App Connections](/docs/connections/social-apps) for step-by-step instructions for each supported platform.

## Video platforms

If you've built up a Watch Later list or collection of liked videos on a video platform, Cache can import those saves into your library alongside everything else you collect.

To connect a video platform, see [Connections Overview](/docs/connections/overview) for available integrations and setup steps.

## What happens after import

Once your import is complete, Cache processes your content automatically — you don't need to do anything else:

* **Duplicates removed** — If the same URL appears more than once across your imports, Cache keeps only one copy so your library stays clean.
* **Broken links removed** — Any links that no longer resolve to live pages are filtered out automatically.
* **OCR indexing** — Cache extracts text from images within your saved content so everything is fully searchable, including visual material.
* **Smart Collections** — Your imported saves are sorted into organized groups automatically, based on topic and content type, so your library is ready to browse from day one.

<Tip>
  Import once to bring in your existing saves, then install the [browser extension](/docs/connections/browser-extension) for one-click saving going forward. That combination keeps your library complete without any manual effort.
