How to Export Favorites in Microsoft Edge

Export your “Favorites” to an HTML file in Edge

You can export your Microsoft Edge favorites to an HTML file to save them as a backup or move them to a different browser. This process makes sure all your saved websites are kept safe and can be transferred. To start, open Microsoft Edge and click the three dots (…) in the top right corner.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open the Microsoft Edge browser.

Then, click the ‘Setting and more‘ three dots (…) in the upper right-hand corner to access the Settings menu. (You can also press Alt+F).

On the Favorites pane, click the ‘More option‘ (three-dots) button and select ‘Export favorites.’

Click the ‘Export favorites‘ command on the context menu.

When you click ‘Export favorites,’ the File Explorer ‘Save As‘ window will appear. Choose a location to save the file; your Desktop is a good option.

The file should appear at your selected location once you click the ‘Save‘ button.

Import Favorites in Microsoft Edge

Importing your favorites into Microsoft Edge is simple if you have an HTML file ready from an export. You can bring back all your saved websites onto a new computer or into a fresh browser profile by following a few steps within Edge. This lets you quickly restore your bookmarks from your backup file.

That should do it.
