Import links into your reading queue
Paste a link to any page — a newsletter issue, a blogroll, a bookmarks export — or upload the file itself, and Readplace pulls every URL out for you to review before saving. No account needed to start; you sign up only when you save.
Some of these may arrive as links only
Readplace fetches this page from its own servers, then saves everything it links to the same way. Sites that block automated fetching arrive as a bare link with none of the article in it. Nothing can capture a whole index for you, but the browser extension and iPhone app take any single article you open in full.
How it works
- Paste a link or upload a file. Any page URL works — a newsletter issue, a blogroll, a link roundup — as does any text-shaped file: HTML, JSON, CSV, or plain text.
- Review the extracted links. Readplace lists every URL it found; untick the ones you don't want.
- Sign in to save. Saving the selection to your reading queue is the only step that asks for an account.
What you can import
- Newsletters and blogrolls — paste the page URL and Readplace collects every link it points to.
- Browser bookmarks — upload the HTML file Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge exports.
- Pocket exports — upload the HTML file Pocket produced. Lost it? The Pocket recovery guide covers getting your list back.
- Anything text-shaped — OPML, CSV, Markdown, notes; any file with http(s):// URLs in it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to import?
No. Paste a link or upload a file and review the results straight away — an account is only asked for when you save the selection to your queue.
What file formats work?
Any text-shaped file: HTML, JSON, CSV, OPML, Markdown, or plain text. Readplace scans for http(s):// URLs, so the exact format doesn't matter.
How many links can I import at once?
Up to 2,000 links per import, from files up to 4.5 MB. For anything larger, email the file to readplace+migrate@readplace.com and I import it by hand within 24 to 48 hours.
Is there a Pocket import?
Yes. Upload the HTML export file Pocket produced and every saved URL comes across; tags and read state don't, because Pocket's export never contained them.
Can I import links from a newsletter?
Paste the URL of the issue and Readplace lists every article it links to. The same works for blogrolls and link roundups.
