So i have an iPad pro, an iphone and an ssd with my saved bookmarks html file on it. Is there any way to import the bookmarks file to Safari on my iPad like you would on a Mac ? The bookmarks were originally exported/saved from Microsoft Edge when i had a PC.

Thank you.
 
I don’t think that’s easily possible. Do individual HTML files from your disk open on iPad? Maybe you could add them one at a time. Or alternatively maybe find a Mac, create a user with your Apple ID and import the bookmarks there, then sync them via iCloud.

Best success!

If the bookmarks are on an external drive, plug it into the iPad and drag the bookmark files onto the iPad that way.

Yes i can open the html file on my ipad but cant find an option in safari to import them. Looks like i might have to do it one by one ...
 
I did the same - turned out to be a good forcing function for thinning out my bookmarks to those I really use.

Lol damn and i just did clean up my bookmarks a few weeks ago.

Thanks.

Is the bookmarks file a text file? If so, you could open it, select all of the bookmarks, and then right tap to open and save in a Notes file. That way they would all format in the Notes file as live links, which you can tap to open in Safari and save from there. It might save time from copying and pasting each one. I just tested this with a text file of 10 links.

Hey thanks. I actually use the raindrop bookmark app. That works great but it would be nice to have all my bookmarks inside safari.

What's the Raindrop app? By any chance a cross-browser kind of thing like we used to have with xMarks?

Please say yes.
