Import from Letterboxd

Export your Letterboxd diary (ZIP or CSV) and bring movies, ratings, watchlist, reviews, and lists into dejaVu.

Updated September 7, 2026

Letterboxd is excellent for movies. If you want to keep that diary and add TV, dejaVu imports the Letterboxd export ZIP (diary, ratings, watchlist, reviews, lists).

What gets imported

  • Diary entries and rewatches
  • Ratings
  • Watchlist
  • Reviews
  • Custom lists

Letterboxd has no TV shows. For episode history, follow up with Trakt import or IMDb.

1. Export your Letterboxd data

  1. Open letterboxd.com/settings/data/.
  2. Click Export Your Data.
  3. Download the ZIP. You do not need to extract it.

Letterboxd prepares the export; you may get an email with the file if the download is not instant.

2. Create a dejaVu account

Sign up at dejaVu.plus. Free, no card.

3. Drop the ZIP in the wizard

Sign in, open Import, choose Letterboxd, and drop the ZIP on the upload area. Individual CSVs work too; the ZIP is simpler.

Parsing happens in your browser: you get a preview (diary, ratings, lists) before anything is sent to dejaVu.

4. Choose what to import

Tick diary + ratings to recover your movie history. Add watchlist and lists if you still use them.

Confirm, then open the dashboard. Movies, ratings, and lists should be there.

Letterboxd does not track TV

That is often why people add a second app. After movies are in:

You do not have to leave Letterboxd. dejaVu is the hub: rated movies on one side, TV on the other, one timeline.
