How to Export Your Links From Carrd (2026)

The honest version up front: Carrd does not have a "download my links as a list" button. On the Pro plan you can download your whole site as source code, but that is a folder of HTML, CSS, and JS, not a clean list of your URLs. On the free plan you cannot download the source at all. So getting your links out means pulling them from your live page or your exported files yourself.

This guide covers the real ways to extract every link from Carrd, in order from easiest to most thorough, and then how to move them into a new tool without retyping a single URL.

Before You Start: Decide What You Actually Need

Carrd is a one-page website builder, so people use it for two different things:

• A simple link page (a list of links, maybe a heading and a photo). If that is you, this migration is quick and clean.
• A small real site (forms, multiple sections, embeds, a portfolio). If you relied on those, know that a link-collection tool replaces the links, not the whole site. More on that at the end.

Knowing which one you are saves you from expecting a link tool to recreate a contact form.

Method 1: Download Your Site Source (Pro Plan)

If you are on Carrd Pro, you can download your site's unminified source from the Dashboard.

• Open your Dashboard and find the site under the Sites tab.
• Click the Manage icon for that site, then click Download in the sidebar.
• You get a zip of the HTML, CSS, JS, and images.

Your links live inside the HTML file as standard <a href="..."> tags. Open the .html file in any text editor and search for href= to find every URL. Copy them into a notes doc or spreadsheet, one per line.

Heads up: form elements and anything that needs Carrd to run will not function in the download. You only care about the links here, so that is fine.

Method 2: Copy Directly From Your Live Page (Fastest, Any Plan)

You do not need Pro for this. Open your published Carrd page in a browser and copy the links straight off it.

• On desktop, right-click each button or link and choose Copy link address.
• Paste each one into a notes doc, one per line.

For a typical link page of 5 to 20 links, this is the fastest route and works on the free plan.

Method 3: View Page Source (Catches Hidden Links)

If some links are buried in icons, embeds, or menus, the page source catches what clicking might miss.

• Open your live Carrd page, right-click, and choose View Page Source (or add view-source: before the URL).
• Search the page for href= to find every link.
• Copy the URLs into your list.

Method 4: Screenshot for Layout Reference

Before you tear anything down, take a full-page screenshot of your Carrd page. You will not import the image, but it is a useful reference for rebuilding the order and grouping of your links in the new tool.

Move Them In Without Retyping

Once you have your list of URLs (one per line in a notes doc, or in a spreadsheet), you do not have to add them one at a time in your new tool.

Shelfy accepts your links three ways:

• Paste a list. Drop all your URLs in at once, one per line. Shelfy adds them in bulk.
• Upload a CSV. If you collected your links in a spreadsheet, export it as CSV and upload it.
• Upload a bookmarks file. If your links live in your browser bookmarks, export them as an HTML file and import that.

For any of these, Shelfy automatically fetches the page title and preview image for each link, so you get a finished, good-looking page without hand-entering names and thumbnails. A 20-link page that would take half an hour to rebuild goes in as a single paste.

Rebuild Smarter, Not Identical

Moving tools is a good moment to improve on the flat Carrd layout instead of copying it:

• Group links into sections. Separate "Shop," "Latest," and "About" instead of one long scroll. Our link curation guide covers how to structure this.
• Put it on your own domain. Shelfy includes custom domains free, so you can run links.yourbrand.com at no cost.
• Add a note to each link. A one-line description tells visitors what each link is and why it is there.

What Shelfy Replaces, and What It Does Not

Being straight about fit, because it saves you a wasted migration:

• Shelfy replaces the link page. If Carrd was your link-in-bio, Shelfy does that job and adds sections, notes, previews, custom domains, and team accounts, all free.
• Shelfy is not a full website builder. It does not do contact forms, custom one-page site layouts, or a storefront. If your Carrd site needed those, keep that part elsewhere and use Shelfy for the links.

For the head-to-head, see Linktree vs Carrd (the trade-offs map closely to the Carrd-vs-link-collection decision).

Quick Reference

• Pro plan: Dashboard, Manage, Download, then search the HTML for href=.
• Any plan: copy link addresses straight off your live page.
• Hidden links: View Page Source and search for href=.
• Keep a full-page screenshot for layout.
• Import into the new tool by paste, CSV, or bookmarks file, not one by one.
• Only swap the link page; keep forms or a full site on a real site builder.
