Drop your Goodreads export here

The goodreads_library_export.csv file from Goodreads' Import and export page. Up to 5 MB.

Your file is read in this browser tab and never uploaded. No account needed.

Getting your export from Goodreads

  1. 1. On Goodreads, on a computer (the export is desktop only), open My Books.
  2. 2. In the left sidebar, under Tools, choose Import and Export.
  3. 3. Click Export Library. When the file is ready (a few minutes for a big library), a link to it appears on the page: download the CSV.
  4. 4. Drop that file above.

Questions

Do I need a Hikara account?
No. The analyzer works entirely without one. You only need an account if you want the connection graph afterwards.
Is my library uploaded anywhere?
No. The CSV is read by JavaScript running in your own browser tab. It is never sent to Hikara or to anyone else — you can disconnect from the network after the page loads and it still works.
How do I get my Goodreads export?
On a computer (Goodreads' export is desktop only), open My Books, choose Import and export under Tools, then Export Library. When the file is ready, a link to it appears on that page; download the CSV.
What if my export has no genres?
A Goodreads export has no genre column at all — the shelves you created are the only subject signal in the file. If you never used genre shelves, the subject section is skipped and everything else still works.
