Import Help

What files work?

Upload CSV or TSV files up to 100MB. Our importer works with any platform that exports ISBNs.

Tested & Supported:

Goodreads

Export -> CSV

StoryGraph

Export -> CSV

Hardcover

Export -> CSV

Bookshelf App

Menu -> Import & Export

Other platforms should also work if it has ISBNs.

What to expect:

  • Some books in your CSV may not exist in our database, but nothing is skipped. We import all the information available in your file.
  • If any details are missing, you can edit the book later or upload cover images.
  • You can run imports as many times as you want. Books with the same ISBN in the same shelf are automatically blocked to prevent duplicates.
  • If you want to allow duplicates, simply create a new empty shelf before importing.
  • Your reviews will also be migrated. If you’ve already written reviews on Bookshelfed, you can choose whether to replace them with the reviews from your import.
