## Export from Chrome
You can export Google Chrome data from a Desktop browser or a Mobile browser:
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<a class="nav-link active" id="desktab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#desk" role="tab" aria-controls="desk" aria-selected="true">Chrome on Desktop</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
<a class="nav-link" id="mobiletab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-target="#mobile" role="tab" aria-controls="mobile" aria-selected="false">Chrome on Mobile</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="clientsContent">
<div class="tab-pane show active" id="desk" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="desktab">
{% capture desktop %}

## Import to Bitwarden
Importing data to Bitwarden **can only be done from the** [**Web Vault**](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} or [CLI]({{site.baseurl}}/article/cli/#import). Data is [encrypted]({{site.baseurl}}/article/what-encryption-is-used/) locally before being sent to the server for storage. To import your data:
1. In the Web Vault, select **Tools** from the top navigation bar.
2. Select **Import Data** from the left-hand Tools menu.
3. From the format dropdown, choose a **Chrome (csv)** (see [What file formats does Bitwarden support for import?]({{site.baseurl}}/article/import-faqs/#q-what-file-formats-does-bitwarden-support-for-import)).
5. Select the **Choose File** button and add the file to import or **copy/paste** the contents of your file into the input box.
{% callout warning %}Import to Bitwarden can't check whether items in the file to import are duplicative of items in your Vault. This means that **importing multiple files will create duplicative** Vault items if an item is already in the Vault and in the file to import.{% endcallout %}
6. Select the **Import Data** button to complete your import.
7. After successful import, delete the import source file from your computer. This will protect you in the event your computer is compromised.
Currently, file attachments are not included in Bitwarden import operations and will need to be uploaded to your Vault manually. For more information, see [File Attachments]({{site.baseurl}}/article/attachments/#attach-a-file).
