Move your library from Goodreads or StoryGraph

Bring your books, reads, ratings and shelves with you. Nothing already in your Sifria library is overwritten, and you can undo the whole import afterwards.

  1. Get your export file

    Goodreads: on the Goodreads website, open My Books → Import and export → Export library. When the file is ready, download it.

    StoryGraph: open Manage account → Export StoryGraph library, then download the file.

  2. Start the import in Sifria

    In Sifria, open More → Import from Goodreads or StoryGraph and upload the file you downloaded (up to 20 MB).

  3. Choose what your shelves become

    The usual shelves are mapped for you:

    In Goodreads or StoryGraphIn Sifria
    ReadIn your library, marked read
    Currently readingIn your library, reading
    To readYour wishlist, or your library if you own it
    Did not finishSet aside

    For each shelf of your own, choose whether it becomes a Sifria shelf or marks its books as set aside. Then let Sifria check your books.

  4. Review your books

    Sifria matches every book against its catalog. You can leave the screen while it works; we email you when your import is ready to review.

    The results come in groups: To import, As manual books, Already in your library and Needs your attention. For a book that needs your attention you can pick the right edition, fix its ISBN, title or author, add it as a manual book, or dismiss it.

  5. Import

    Confirm the import, and your books, reads, ratings and shelves arrive in your library.

Changed your mind?

Until the date the app shows, you can undo the import: it removes the books, reads and shelves it added. Anything you changed or added since stays.
