Years of ratings are the reason most people stay on an app they've outgrown. You don't have to start over. Goodreads, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and IMDb all let you download what you've logged, and Logfolio reads those files as they are.
Export your books from Goodreads
- Go to the Goodreads website and open My Books.
- Choose Import and export.
- Click Export Library and download the CSV file it makes.
Keep the file as it is. You don't need to open it or change anything.
Export your books from StoryGraph
- On StoryGraph, open Manage Account.
- Choose Export StoryGraph Library and download the CSV.
If you use both Goodreads and StoryGraph, you can import both. A book that's in both files lands once; only a different finish date counts as a reread.
Export your films from Letterboxd
- On Letterboxd, open Settings.
- Go to Data and choose Export your data.
- Download the ZIP file.
Don't unzip it. Logfolio reads the ZIP directly.
Export your films and shows from IMDb
IMDb's export only works on the desktop website, not in the app.
- On a computer, open Your Ratings (or your Watchlist, or any of your lists).
- Choose Export and download the CSV.
Each list is its own file, so upload your ratings and your watchlist one after the other.
Bring them into Logfolio
- Sign in and open Settings, then Import.
- Choose the file and press Import. Files can be up to 10 MB.
- When it's done, Logfolio tells you how many entries came over.
You can upload the same file again later. Anything already in your log is skipped, so you never get duplicates, and entries you've edited since are left alone.
What comes over
From Goodreads, each book brings its title, author, year, your star rating, the date you read it, your review, and its ISBN. Your shelves become tags. Books on your currently-reading shelf show as Reading, and your to-read shelf becomes Want to read.
From StoryGraph, each book brings its title, author, ISBN, your star rating, your read status, the last date you read it, your review, and your tags.
From Letterboxd, every diary entry comes over, including rewatches, each as its own entry. Ratings keep their half stars, and your tags and reviews come with them. Films you marked as watched without a diary entry come over too, but without a date, and so does your watchlist.
From IMDb, films and TV shows come over with your rating. The date you rated something becomes its date watched, which is usually close to the day you saw it. Your watchlist comes over as Watchlist. Episodes, video games, and podcasts are left out.
Your reviews stay private. Your public page shows titles, ratings, dates, and tags.
How much you can bring
Free gives you 20 entries in each type, so an import brings in your newest books and films until each type has 20. With Pro there's no limit. If you upgrade later, upload the same file again and the rest comes in.
Games and code
Steam and GitHub don't need a file. With Pro, open Settings, then Import, and connect them under Connected accounts. You sign in with Steam or GitHub to prove the account is yours, then your played games or public repos come over. GitHub stays up to date on its own each day; for Steam, press Sync now whenever you want your latest games and hours.
Once your history is in, see how a finished page can look in the sample pages.
