This wikiHow teaches you how to export any of your IMDb lists as a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file. CSV files can be imported into other websites (such as Letterboxd), applications (such as Excel), and databases. In addition to your custom lists, you can also export your ratings list and watchlist.

    All of your custom lists appear on this page.
    • If you want to export your ratings list rather than a custom list, select Your ratings instead, and then skip to Step 4.
    • To export a watchlist instead, click Your watchlist on the menu, and then Export this list link at the bottom-right corner of the list's contents. Now, skip to Step 7.

    This opens the list's contents.

    It's three vertical dots right above the list (to the right of the list's name). A menu will expand. [1]

    The "Save as" window will appear.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/77\/Export-Your-IMDb-Custom-Lists-to-a-CSV-File-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Export-Your-IMDb-Custom-Lists-to-a-CSV-File-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/77\/Export-Your-IMDb-Custom-Lists-to-a-CSV-File-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/aid11022041-v4-728px-Export-Your-IMDb-Custom-Lists-to-a-CSV-File-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This saves your list as a CSV file, which can then be opened in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets, and/or imported into other applications.
    • Some applications that allow you to view the contents of a CSV file in an easy-to-read format are Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Numbers.
