How do I import my Chrome (35.0.1916.153) bookmarks in to Safari (7.0.4)?
Just noting that Safari 8 has an option to import directly from Chrome. In Safari, select File > Import From
from menu bar.

On a related note, Click on
Chrome > Import Bookmarks and Settings
to import in to Chrome. – Danger14 Nov 13 '14 at 21:05 -

I realized this option didn't appear for me because I'm using Chrome Canary... In this case I still had to export bookmarks to a file and then import from Safari. – xji Nov 28 '15 at 5:26

Exporting Your Chrome Bookmarks
Chrome stores bookmarks in a non-HTML format so you need to export them first before you can import them in to Safari.
- Select
Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager
from the menu bar in Chrome - In the Bookmark Manager UI select
Organize > Export Bookmarks to HTML File...
- Select a location to save the file (I suggest
Desktop
) in the File window dialog and click theSave
button
Import the Exported Bookmarks in to Safari
- In Safari select
File > Import Bookmarks...
from the menu bar - Navigate to the folder where you saved the exported HTML bookmarks file, select the file and press the
Import
button
Your bookmarks will be imported in to a bookmark folder named imported <date of import>
. For example, on the day of writing this answer, my imported bookmarks were placed in a bookmark folder named imported 6/22/14
. You can organize your bookmarks in Safari by selecting Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks
to open the bookmark editing interface in a tab. Move and re-arrange your imported bookmarks to suit your needs.

Very clear explanation. Chrome can import bookmarks directly from Safari; too bad it doesn't work the other way also. – Eric Hepperle - CodeSlayer2010 Nov 4 '14 at 21:21

3See the answer below - the new Safari 8 has an option for importing from Chrome. – nwinkler Nov 8 '14 at 18:23
