Import from Readwise Reader
This page is about the Reader library export. Reader's library CSV does not include highlights; to bring those too, also import the Readwise highlights export.
Get your export
- Open Readwise Reader in your browser.
- Open Reader's settings (preferences) and find the export section.
- Export your library as CSV and download the file.
Which file to upload
The library CSV. Its header row is
Title,URL,ID,Document tags,Saved date,Reading progress,Location,Seen.
Then open the Import page in Readsira, choose Readwise and drop the file. Readsira recognises it as a Reader library export on its own.

Duplicates, undo and size limits work the same for every source: see Import your library.
