Move saves from Pocket to wallabag
We earn commissions when you shop through the links below.
wallabag imports a Pocket CSV you already downloaded. Mozilla's export window closed on October 8, 2025, so a missing file cannot be fetched again.
How long: An hour if the CSV is already on disk. Impossible if you never exported.
Take it out
Step 1
Look for the CSV you already saved
Mozilla's May 22, 2025 post says Pocket saves could be exported until October 8, 2025, and that the data was deleted after that. wallabag's migration page, checked November 2, 2026, says exporting from Pocket is no longer available. Search old downloads for the CSV. If it is not there, stop. This guide cannot reopen Pocket.
Step 2
Keep a second copy
wallabag's page says to keep the original export. Some source pages will be gone, blocked, or hard to extract when wallabag tries to fetch them later.
Put it in
Step 1
Pick an instance
Install wallabag from the project docs, or use wallabag.it. We have not checked the hosted price. A community host is a third option the migration page names, and this guide did not review one.
Step 2
Import the CSV
wallabag.org/migrate-from-pocket says to import the Pocket CSV, then review the entries. This guide did not run that import. The older doc at doc.wallabag.org still describes a Pocket API key. Mozilla's post says that API stopped on October 8, 2025. Do not follow the API steps.
Step 3
Save new pages from the extension or the phone app
The GitHub readme links the browser extension and the Android and iOS apps. New articles go in through those. They do not repair a missing export.

What you lose
No export file
Without the CSV, there is nothing for wallabag to import. The shutdown deleted the account data after the date in Mozilla's post.
Highlights and the old API path
The migration page describes saved links, tags, and a searchable list. It does not say Pocket highlights come across. The API importer in the older doc is not a live path.
Pages that will not fetch
wallabag fetches the article from the original site. A dead or logged-in page stays a bare link. Readeck also documents a Pocket file import if you want a second place to try the same CSV.
Start with the file you already have. A new account does not bring the old library back.
