I created this video to show how to import and export your data on Letterboxd, which is useful if you’re moving from another platform or want to back up your entire movie-watching history.

Letterboxd has become the go-to platform for film tracking, but sometimes you want to import a spreadsheet or migrate lists — and thankfully, they support that.

In the tutorial, I show:

  1. How to export your account data (films, ratings, diary, watchlist)
  2. Downloading your backup in CSV format
  3. How to import CSVs into lists or your diary
  4. Formatting your data correctly before uploading
  5. Common issues and how to troubleshoot missing titles

I use this whenever I’m starting a new curated list or merging data from IMDb or Google Sheets. It keeps everything clean and centralized.

Have you backed up your Letterboxd data before, or thinking of switching from another platform?
