Import your books

Bring your library from Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing, Libib, Hardcover, Bookly or any spreadsheet. You'll see a preview first, books already on your shelf are skipped, and you can undo the whole import.

Paste a list of books

One book per line, like Dune by Frank Herbert or The Hobbit - Tolkien. Numbered and bulleted lists work. Each line is matched to a catalog entry.

Snap your bookshelf

Photograph a row of spines and Bookplate reads them. Works best with 5–15 books, straight on, in good light. Only spines it can match with confidence are offered.

Export from Goodreads
  1. On a computer or in a phone's browser (not the Goodreads app), open goodreads.com and go to My Books.
  2. In the left column under Tools, choose Import and export.
  3. Tap Export Library. When the link appears on that page (large libraries take a few minutes), download the .csv file.
  4. Drop that file below — your shelves, ratings, read dates and reviews come with it. On iPhone, tap the downloaded file and choose Open in Bookplate (or Share → Bookplate).
Export from StoryGraph
  1. On thestorygraph.com, open the menu under your profile picture and choose Manage Account.
  2. Find the export section and generate your StoryGraph library export.
  3. Download the .csv when it's ready, then drop it below. Read status, star ratings (including quarter stars), read dates, tags and owned books come with it.
Other apps
  • LibraryThing: More → Import/Export → Export as tab-delimited text.
  • Hardcover: Settings → Exports (hardcover.app/account/exports) → CSV.
  • Libib, Bookly and others: use the app's export or backup to CSV/Excel.
  • Anything else: any spreadsheet with a Title column works — you can match the other columns in the preview.

Formats, templates and tools
.csv / .tsvAn export from another reading app, or the Bookplate template below
.xlsx / .xlsAny spreadsheet with a Title column — other columns are matched by name
.jsonA Bookplate backup file (replaces everything), or a list of books from another app (adds)

Open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets, replace the example rows with your own, and import it back. Only Title is required — leave anything you don't know blank.

Older imports can keep a file's lower-case titles (e.g. a room of one's own). This re-checks those against Open Library and restores proper formatting — it only reformats the capitalization and punctuation of the same title, never swaps in a different book.

The cup's whole surface, unwrapped — the middle faces you, the left edge is the seam behind the handle. The 3D cup updates live as you draw.

Scan books

Barcodes read by themselves — just point. For the front cover (or a stubborn barcode), tap Snap and it processes the photo. Scan a stack; you choose where they land when you’re done.

Decorations

Design your teacup

Pick a cup color, then draw straight onto the cup — the brush paints exactly where you touch. Brush colors read as ink, so they show up boldest on a lighter cup. It'll sit beside your shelf and on the picker plate.
