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.

The first thing you need to do is configure iCloud on your iPad. You can do this by tapping the Settings icon on your iPad. Note that this process is also a good way for you to learn how to backup your iPad Safari bookmarks .
Tap the iCloud option at the left side of the window, type your Apple ID and password into the fields at the center of the window, then tap the Sign In button. You will receive a few notifications about merging contacts and uploading some data to iCloud, so choose the options that you would like to use.

You are now done configuring your iPad to share the bookmarks from your Safari browser. The next step is to get iCloud on your PC and configure that to store your iPad Safari bookmarks.
How to Transfer Bookmarks from iPad to PC
While it would seem like you could control iCloud from iTunes, that is not the case. You actually need to download an extra program to your Windows PC called the iCloud Control Panel. Fortunately this program is available for free, and you can download it at Apple’s website from this link .
Click the Download button at the right side of the window, then save the file to your computer.
Double-click the downloaded file, then follow the instructions until the installation process has completed.
Once the iCloud Control Panel has been installed, you can click the Start button at the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click the Control Panel button at the right side of the menu.
Click the drop-down menu at the top-right corner of the window, click the Small icons option, then click the iCloud option. Take note of this location, as you may be inclined to look for the program in the All Programs menu.
![ipad-safari-bookmarks-3 open icloud control panel from the control panel](https://www.solveyourtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ipad-safari-bookmarks-3.jpg)
Type your Apple ID and password into their respective fields at the center of the window (these need to be the same values that you used when you set up iCloud on your iPad) then click the Sign In button at the bottom of the window.
![ipad-safari-bookmarks-4 how to export ipad safari bookmarks](https://www.solveyourtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ipad-safari-bookmarks-4.jpg)

![ipad-safari-bookmarks-5 sync bookmarks from your ipad to your pc](https://www.solveyourtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ipad-safari-bookmarks-5.jpg)
Click the Options button to the right of Bookmarks , then select the browser that you want to use your iCloud bookmarks with. After selecting the desired browser, click the OK button.
This will return you to the original iCloud Control Panel window. Click the Apply button at the bottom of this window to apply the changes that you have just made.
You should now be able to open the browser that you selected and see all of your iPad Safari bookmarks have been exported to the chosen browser on your PC.

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

What to Know
- Navigate to Home Directory / Library / Safari . Then, hold down the option key and drag the Bookmarks.plist file to a new location.
- You can also right-click the file and select Compress Bookmarks.plist . This creates a .zip file you can move anywhere on your Mac.
- To move the file to a new Mac, email it to yourself or use a cloud storage service like Dropbox or iCloud.
This article explains how to backup your Safari bookmarks for safe-keeping or move them to a new Mac without using the Bookmarks manager to sort through the imported bookmarks and manually putting them where you want them.
Backup Safari Bookmarks
Safari stores bookmarks as a plist (property list) file named Bookmarks.plist. It's located under Home Directory / Library / Safari . Bookmarks are stored on a per-user basis, with each user having their own bookmarks file. If you have multiple accounts on your Mac and want to back up or move all of the bookmarks files, access the above directory location for each user.
To back up your Safari bookmarks, copy the Bookmarks.plist file to a new location. You can do this in one of two ways.
Open a Finder window and navigate to Home Directory / Library / Safari .
With OS X Lion , Apple hid the Home Directory/Library folder, but you can still access the Library folder in a variety of ways. Once you gain access to the Library folder, you can proceed with the instructions below.
Hold down the option key and drag the Bookmarks.plist file to another location. By holding down the option key, you ensure that a copy is made and that the original stays in the default location.
The other way to back up the Bookmarks.plist file is to right-click the file and select Compress "Bookmarks.plist from the pop-up menu. This command will create a file named Bookmarks.plist.zip , which you can move anywhere on your Mac without affecting the original.
Restore Your Safari Bookmarks
All you need to restore your Safari bookmarks is to have a backup of the Bookmarks.plist file available. If the backup is in the compressed or zip format, you will need to double-click the Bookmarks.plist.zip file to decompress it first.
Quit Safari, if the application is open.
Copy the Bookmarks.plist file you backed up earlier to Home Directory / Library / Safari.
A warning message will display: "An item named "Bookmarks.plist" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?" Select Replace .
Once you restore the Bookmarks.plist file, launch Safari. All your bookmarks will be present, just where they were when you backed them up. No importing and sorting required.
Move Safari Bookmarks to a New Mac
Moving your Safari bookmarks to a new Mac is essentially the same as restoring them. The only difference is that you will need a way to bring the Bookmarks.plist file to your new Mac.
Because the file is small, you can easily email it to yourself. Other options are to move the file across a network, store it in the cloud using a storage solution such as Dropbox or iCloud, or put it on a USB flash drive or external hard drive .
Once you have the Bookmarks.plist file on your new Mac, use the steps outlined above to make your bookmarks available.
iCloud Bookmarks
If you have an Apple ID, you can take advantage of iCloud's bookmarks feature to sync Safari bookmarks across multiple Macs and iOS devices. To gain access to the iCloud-synced bookmarks, you need to set up an iCloud account on each Mac or iOS device that you wish to share bookmarks between.
For sharing bookmarks, make sure there is a checkmark next to the Safari item in the list of iCloud services. As long as you're signed in to your iCloud account on each Mac or iOS device you're using, you should have all of your Safari bookmarks available across multiple devices and platforms.
When you add a bookmark on one device, the bookmark will appear on all devices; more importantly, if you delete a bookmark on one device, all the devices that are synced via iCloud Safari bookmarks will also remove that bookmark.
Use Safari Bookmarks on Other Macs or PCs
If you travel a lot, you may want to bring along your Safari bookmarks. One method is to store your bookmarks in the cloud, so you can access them from anywhere you have an internet connection. This is helpful when you need to access your bookmarks from a public computer.
When you use Safari's Export Bookmarks option, the file Safari creates is actually an HTML listing of all of your bookmarks. You can take this file with you and open it in any browser, just like a normal web page. Of course, you don't end up with bookmarks per se; instead, you end up with a web page that has a clickable list of all of your bookmarks. Though not as easy to use as the bookmarks in a browser, the list can still come in handy when you're on the road.
Here's how to export your bookmarks.
Select File > Export Bookmarks .
In the Save dialog window that opens, select a target location for the Safari Bookmarks.html file, then select Save .
Copy the Safari Bookmarks.html file to a USB flash drive or to a cloud storage system.
To use the Safari Bookmarks.html file, open a browser on the computer you're using and either drag the Safari Bookmarks.html file to the browser's address bar or select Open from the browser's file menu and navigate to the Safari Bookmarks.html file.
Your list of Safari Bookmarks will display as a web page. To visit one of your bookmarked sites , just select the corresponding link.

Whether you're using a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or any other Apple device, Safari provides a consistent and user-friendly experience across platforms. 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.
Accessing Bookmarks on iPhone or iPad
For users of Safari on iPhone or iPad, accessing bookmarks follows a similar pattern. Upon opening Safari, look for the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the screen. Tapping on this icon will bring up your bookmarks and bookmark folders, allowing you to view and select the ones you want to work with.

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 export favorites Safari bookmarks on iPhone](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Safari-bookmarks-iPhone.jpg)
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.
![safari export favorites Export Safari bookmarks on Mac](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Export-Safari-Bookmarks-Mac.jpg)
When prompted, choose a place to save the export and click on the blue Save button:
![safari export favorites Export Safari Bookmarks to HTML file](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Export-Safari-Bookmarks-to-HTML-file.png)
Now you should be left with an HTML file that contains all your bookmarks:
![safari export favorites HTML File Safari Bookmarks](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/HTML-File-Safari-Bookmarks.png)
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 .
![safari export favorites Import bookmarks and settings in Chrome on Mac](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Import-bookmarks-and-settings-Chrome-Mac.jpg)
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 .
![safari export favorites Import bookmarks from HTML in Firefox on Mac](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Import-Bookmarks-from-HTML-Firefox-Mac.jpg)
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:
![safari export favorites iCloud Dashboard Internet Explorer](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/iCloud-Dashboard-Internet-Explorer.png)
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 .
![safari export favorites iCloud Windows Bookmarks](https://media.idownloadblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/iCloud-Windows-Bookmarks.png)
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.

How to Transfer Bookmarks To And From All Major Browsers
Collect and move your favorites easily
When you browse the internet and come across a helpful resource, one of the ways you can save it for later is to use apps like Google Keep or Evernote. However, you can also use your browser’s built-in tool to create a bookmark.
Bookmarks are saved shortcuts that store the title, favicon, and URL of a specific webpage. This way, you don’t have to remember the URL and next time you want to go to that specific web page, you can access it on the web via the saved bookmark.

How to export Safari bookmarks: Saving your favourite websites
- Share on Facebook
- Share on Twitter
- Share on LinkedIn
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
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 favourites 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 .
Step-by-step tutorial: How to export your Safari bookmarks
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 programme file in Finder.
Once you have opened Safari, click “File” in the menu bar at the top, and then select “ Export Bookmarks ”:
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 organise 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 ”.
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:
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 favourite in your new browser .
How to export Safari bookmarks on iOS devices
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 synchronise 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 synchronisation for Safari , first open the Settings and then tap your personal Apple account:
Tap the “ iCloud ” button in the Apple ID menu, which then opens:
You will then see a list of all apps that can be synchronised 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 synchronisation:
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.

If you're well integrated into Apple's ecosystem, sticking to Safari makes the most sense. The default browser is designed and optimized for macOS and iOS, allowing you to effortlessly pass tabs between devices or make purchases secured with FaceID or TouchID. There is a downside, though: Safari is an Apple exclusive. Because of that, you can't sync Safari with your Android or Windows devices, making Google Chrome a more appealing — and universal — alternative.
Right now, Chrome can beat Safari speeds on macOS. Google tested the latest build of Chrome using Apple's Speedometer browser benchmark, where it outperformed Safari, giving reasons a pretty good reason to switch. Chrome's browser extension support is also unparalleled, offering thousands of free web extensions via the Chrome Web Store. Beyond that, you can seamlessly sync Chrome history, passwords, settings, and bookmarks across all your devices by signing into the browser with your Google account.
Whether you want to take Google Chrome for a test drive or make the switch from Safari, you don't need to lose your bookmarks or settings. Here's the easiest way to transfer all your Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome.
How to transfer Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome on Mac
![safari export favorites chrome on macbook](https://www.slashgear.com/img/gallery/the-easiest-way-to-transfer-safari-bookmarks-to-google-chrome/how-to-transfer-safari-bookmarks-to-google-chrome-on-mac-1653618933.jpg)
Moving bookmarks between desktop browsers is fairly straightforward. You can either let Chrome automatically import the bookmarks or do it manually yourself, as explained on the Google Support website.
To auto-import browser bookmarks from Safari:
1. Fire up Chrome on your computer.
2. Click the three-dot menu button located in the upper right corner of the browser.
3. Navigate to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings.
4. Pick Safari from the drop-down menu.
5. Browsing history, Bookmarks, and Search are checked by default. Uncheck the other items if you only want to import the bookmarks.
6. Click Import and then Done.
As mentioned, you can also transfer the bookmarks manually, but you'll need the related HTML file. This is also a simple process, but it takes a few extra steps.
1. Open Safari on your computer.
2. Go to File > Export Bookmarks.
3. Save the HTML file in your local Mac storage.
4. Open Chrome and go to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings
5. This time, pick Bookmarks HTML File from the drop-down menu.
6. Locate the .html file and click Choose File.
On a fresh installation of Chrome, the imported bookmarks will appear on the bookmarks bar (you can show or hide the bar with Ctrl + Shift + B.) But if you've already created new bookmarks on Chrome, you'll find the imported Safari bookmarks in a folder called "Other bookmarks."
How to transfer Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome on iPhone and iPad
![safari export favorites macbook and iphone](https://www.slashgear.com/img/gallery/the-easiest-way-to-transfer-safari-bookmarks-to-google-chrome/how-to-transfer-safari-bookmarks-to-google-chrome-on-iphone-and-ipad-1653618244.jpg)
While importing and exporting bookmarks is a breeze on desktop, there's no direct way to do so on iOS or iPadOS. However, you can use Chrome sync and iCloud sync to transfer bookmarks from Safari on Mac to Chrome on iPhone or iPad. Note that you need a Google account for Chrome sync to work, and this process relies on having access to a macOS computer.
Start by syncing your Safari bookmarks on iOS or iPadOS via iCloud. On your iPad or iPhone, navigate to Settings > Profile > iCloud and turn on the switch for Safari.
Next, enable Safari sync on Mac. Find the iCloud in the System Preferences and check the toggle for Safari.
Open Google Chrome on your Mac and import Safari bookmarks using the steps laid out in the previous section.
Sign into Chrome with your Google account. The imported bookmarks (also the history, passwords, and preferences) will be synced across all your devices.
Install Chrome on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same Google account.
Android devices also support Chrome sync. After you sync the bookmarks using iCloud, Google will import them to your Android device, too (provided you sign in with the same account).
