How can I manually import my highlight collection to Readwise?
Many users of Readwise have kept their own collections of highlights and notes in various formats, whether it be an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document, or an ever-growing Apple Note.
There are a few ways to bring your manually-curated collection into Readwise.
CSV Upload
To import highlights in bulk, you can upload a CSV file. For instructions and information on how the file should be formatted, see the import page.
If your file is in another format—such as a TXT, Numbers file, etc.—you'll have to convert the file to CSV before uploading.
Freeform Input
You can add highlights individually using the Freeform Input tool. This is great for collecting highlights that might be scattered across various sources, or even for capturing the witticisms of any particularly erudite friends.
Scan via App (OCR)
If you've highlighted physical sources—such as books, magazines, newspapers, etc.—you can use the mobile app to take a picture of the page and scan in the highlight. You can learn more about the feature here: How do I import highlights from physical or paper books?
