## Step 1: Export from Letterboxd

Letterboxd allows you to export all your data in a single zip file.

1. Log in to your [Letterboxd account](https://letterboxd.com).
2. Go to **Settings** (hover over your username in the top nav).
3. Click on the **Data** tab.
4. Click the **Export Your Data** button.

A zip file (for example, `letterboxd-username-date.zip`) will download.

**Important:** You must unzip or extract this file to access the CSV files inside.

## Step 2: Import to The Couch Critic

We support importing your watched items and reviews.

1. Go to the [Data Import](https://www.thecouchcritic.com/profile/settings) section in your settings.
2. Select **Letterboxd** as the platform.
3. Upload one of the following files from your extracted zip:
   - `watched.csv` (recommended for watched items)
   - `reviews.csv` (includes text reviews)
   - `diary.csv` (includes rewatches)
4. Wait for the processing to complete.

Note: You can upload multiple files one by one to import different data sets.

## What gets imported?

- **Ratings:** Letterboxd's 5-star scale is converted to our 100-point scale (for example, 3.5 stars = 70).
- **Reviews:** Your written reviews are preserved and linked to the movie.
- **Watch Dates:** The date you logged the movie is saved as the watched date.
