How to Organize Your Chrome Bookmarks Into Folders

Chrome bookmarks are a great way to save websites you want to revisit — but if you've been using Chrome for a while, your bookmarks bar can become a jumbled mess of names that's hard to navigate. Organizing bookmarks into folders solves this quickly.

A bookmark folder works like a regular folder on your computer — instead of dozens of individual links across the top of your screen, you might have a few folders: "Recipes," "Health," "Shopping," "News," and "Family Sites." Click a folder to expand it and see the saved links inside.

You can create as many folders as you like, nest folders inside other folders, and move any existing bookmark into a folder with a simple drag-and-drop.

Chrome also has a Bookmarks Manager — a dedicated page that shows all your bookmarks in a large, easy-to-navigate view. It's great for doing bulk reorganization: selecting many bookmarks at once, searching through all your saved links by keyword, and finding duplicates.

Bookmarks sync across all your devices when you're signed into Chrome with your Google account. So the folders you create on your desktop computer will also appear in Chrome on your laptop or, in a limited way, in the Chrome app on your phone.

Once you get your bookmarks organized, you'll find that the websites you need are just a click or two away. And you don't have to hunt through a long unorganized list.
