Privacy & rules
We never ask for your AO3 password
- Gentle speed. Exports run at a fixed, gentle speed so we don't add load to AO3. With many bookmarks it can take several minutes; a progress bar is shown.
- Nothing stored. Our server does not store export results. Files are built in your browser.
- Not affiliated. This site is not affiliated with AO3 (Archive of Our Own) or the Organization for Transformative Works.
- Play fair. Please follow the AO3 Terms of Service and only back up your own content.

How it works
Enter or install
Type your AO3 username for public bookmarks, or install the local tool for history and private bookmarks.
Click export
The tool walks through your bookmark pages at a gentle, fixed speed while a progress bar shows how far along it is.
Save your file
Download a CSV, an EPUB reading list preview, or plain links. The file is built in your browser and saved on your device.
After you export
Download AO3 fics to Kindle
The EPUB option is a reading list of titles and links (text preview for now), not the full text of each fic. You can open it and tap through to each work. To read full stories offline, use AO3's own download button on each work (EPUB, MOBI, PDF) and add those files to Kindle or Calibre.
Filter in a spreadsheet
Open the CSV in Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers to sort by word count, search tags, or find that one fic you bookmarked years ago.
Move to another site or reader
Use the plain links or CSV to rebuild your list in a reading app, a notes app, or another archive. You keep a copy that doesn't depend on any one website.
FAQ
Do I need my AO3 password?
No. Public bookmarks only need your username. Local mode runs in your own browser where you are already logged in, so we never see or ask for your password.
What formats can I export?
CSV for spreadsheets, an EPUB reading list text preview (titles and links), and plain-text links.
Can I export private bookmarks and my reading history?
Yes, with local mode. Because those pages are only visible when you are logged in, the export runs in your own browser and the file stays on your computer.
Why is the export slow?
We load one page at a time at a fixed, gentle speed so we don't overload AO3. If you have many bookmarks it can take several minutes. The progress bar shows how far along it is.
Is my data saved anywhere?
No. Export files are built in your browser and our server does not store them. There are no accounts and nothing is linked to you.
Will my bookmarks be lost while AO3 is down?
AO3 is currently offline. This tool helps you keep your own copy of your bookmarks and reading history once it is back, so your list doesn't depend on a single website.
How do I import my list into Kindle?
Download the reading list preview, then use Send to Kindle (app, web, or email) or add it to Calibre once a real EPUB is available. Remember it contains titles and links, not full stories.
