How do I import my Raindrop.io collections into Marqly?

Marqly imports Raindrop.io collections directly. Bring your links over and Marqly's AI auto-tags each one, making the whole library searchable by meaning.

Marqly imports Raindrop.io collections, so switching doesn’t mean starting over. Export your data from Raindrop, sign in to Marqly, and import it — your links come across, and Marqly’s AI auto-tags every one of them. The collections you spent time curating in Raindrop become a library you can search by meaning, without redoing any of the organizing by hand.

The import in three steps

  1. Export your collections from your Raindrop.io account settings.
  2. Sign in at app.marqly.com — the free tier needs no credit card.
  3. Import the exported file into Marqly.

After the import, AI tagging runs across everything automatically. You don’t need to recreate your Raindrop collection structure first, and you don’t need to file anything manually afterward.

What changes after you switch

The biggest practical difference isn’t the import — it’s what happens to findability afterward. In a folder- and collection-based tool, retrieval depends on remembering where you put something. In Marqly, retrieval depends on remembering anything about it: semantic search matches meaning across titles, content, highlights, and transcripts, so “that piece comparing static site generators” surfaces the right link even if you saved it untagged two years ago. See what is semantic search for how that works.

Auto-tagging also keeps working forward from day one — every new save gets tagged with zero filing effort, which is the part manual collection systems tend to lose to entropy.

Deciding whether to switch at all

If you’re still weighing Raindrop against Marqly, read the honest head-to-head in Raindrop vs Marqly — Raindrop wins some rows, and the comparison says so. The short version: Raindrop is strong at manual visual organization; Marqly’s bet is that AI tagging plus search-by-meaning beats maintaining that structure yourself.

Consolidating from more than one source? Marqly also imports Pocket export files and standard browser bookmark HTML — see how do I import from Pocket and how do I import Chrome bookmarks.
