Microsoft Edge to Safari converter

Microsoft Edge and Safari both use CSV, but Microsoft Edge writes 5 columns; Safari expects 6 in a different order — so Safari rejects a raw Edge export or silently files everything into the wrong fields. Drop your export below and get back a file Safari accepts.

Convert your Microsoft Edge export

Drop your Microsoft Edge CSV here or click to choose a file — nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript. Your file is never sent to a server — you can confirm it by opening your browser's Network tab, or by turning off Wi-Fi before you drop the file in. Prefer not to do this in a browser tab at all? Download the converter and run it from your own disk.

Your export file is plaintext. Both the file Microsoft Edge gives you and the one you download here contain every password in readable form. Delete them as soon as the import is verified, and empty your trash.

What's actually different between the two formats

Only 3 of 5 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for Safari to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields.

Microsoft Edge column	Safari column	What happens
`name`	`Title`	Renamed and repositioned
`username`	`Username`	Renamed and repositioned
`password`	`Password`	Renamed and repositioned
`url`	`URL`	Renamed and repositioned
`— none —`	`OTPAuth`	Left empty — Edge exports nothing for this.
`note`	`Notes`	Renamed and repositioned

What carries over

Field	Edge	Safari	Result
Item name / title	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Username and password	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Website URL	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Notes	Yes	Yes	Carried over
Folders / groups	No	No	Not in the source file
Two-factor (TOTP) secrets	No	Yes	Not in the source file
Favorites	No	No	Not in the source file
Custom fields	No	No	Not in the source file
Multiple URLs per entry	No	No	Not in the source file
File attachments	No	No	Not in the source file

Step 1 — Export from Microsoft Edge

Open Edge and go to edge://settings/passwords.
Select the ••• menu next to Saved passwords → Export passwords.
Confirm with your Windows account password or PIN.
Save the CSV.

Watch out for

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.
Edge has no field for TOTP secrets, folders or favorites — those cannot survive the trip.

Step 2 — Convert it

Drop the file onto the converter above. It parses Microsoft Edge's layout, maps each field onto the universal record, then writes Safari's exact expected columns — including the empty ones its importer requires and, where the two differ, the right shape for 2FA secrets. You'll see a preview and a list of anything Safari can't hold before you download.

Rather not put this file in a browser tab connected to the internet? The same converter is available as a single HTML file you can download and open with your network switched off.

Step 3 — Import into Safari

Open the Passwords app (or Safari → Settings → Passwords on older macOS).
Choose File → Import Passwords…
Select the converted CSV.

Watch out for

Safari and the Passwords app share one iCloud Keychain store and one CSV layout — importing to either lands in the same place.
There is no folder structure in iCloud Keychain, so groups from the source have to go into notes.

Step 4 — Verify and clean up

Open ten entries in Safari at random and check them against Microsoft Edge.
Sign in to one real site using Safari to confirm autofill works.
Delete both CSV files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, confirm the deletion propagated there too.
Only then close your Microsoft Edge account — and change any password you suspect was exposed while the plaintext file existed.

Questions

Why won't Safari import my Microsoft Edge file directly?

Only 3 of 5 column names match (url, username, password), and they're in a different order — enough for Safari to accept the file and then put your passwords in the wrong fields. The converter rewrites the file into Safari's exact expected layout, including the column order and any empty columns its importer requires.

Do my passwords get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion is JavaScript running in your own browser tab — the file is read with the FileReader API, transformed in memory, and handed back to you as a download. There is no upload, no server-side processing and no analytics attached to the file. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet before you drop the file in: the conversion still works.

Does anything get lost moving from Microsoft Edge to Safari?

Safari supports every field Microsoft Edge exports, so a standard login entry survives intact — name, username, password, URL, notes, folder and 2FA secret. File attachments are the exception: no CSV export from any manager includes them, so download those separately before you close your Microsoft Edge account.

Is the export file from Microsoft Edge encrypted?

No. A Microsoft Edge CSV export is plaintext — every password in it is readable by anything that can open the file, including other apps on your machine and anything that syncs your Downloads folder to the cloud. Convert it, import it, then delete both files and empty your trash. If your Downloads folder syncs to iCloud, OneDrive or Dropbox, check that the deletion propagated.

Anything unusual about Microsoft Edge's export?

Edge uses the same five-column Chromium layout as Chrome, so files are interchangeable between them.

Anything unusual about importing into Safari?

Safari and the Passwords app share one iCloud Keychain store and one CSV layout — importing to either lands in the same place.
