How to export your Letterboxd data and upload it here

Request an export at letterboxd.com/settings/data— Letterboxd emails you a ZIP when it’s ready. Upload that ZIP on the dashboard. Our uploader expects a ZIP that includes ratings.csv in the ZIP root.

Step 1: Request your export from Letterboxd

Direct link: letterboxd.com/settings/data
  1. Log in to Letterboxd on the web.
  2. Open your account settings and find the option to export your data.
  3. Request an export. Letterboxd will email you a download link when it’s ready.

Step 2: Download the ZIP from the email

  • Download the export ZIP to your computer.
  • Don’t rename files inside it. You can keep the ZIP as-is.

Step 3: Upload it on MovieComparer

  1. Go to the dashboard.
  2. In the uploader, select and upload your Letterboxd export ZIP.
  3. Wait for processing to finish—your personality dashboard will appear when we’re done matching your ratings.

Common issues (quick fixes)

  • “Please upload a .zip file containing ratings.csv.” You likely uploaded the wrong file. Upload the Letterboxd export ZIP (or re-zip so that ratings.csv sits at the ZIP root, not inside a nested folder).
  • I only have “watched” but no ratings. This app is built around ratings. If your export has a watched.csv we can still show watched-but-unrated counts, but the dashboard needs ratings.csv for the main analysis.
  • My match rate seems low. That’s normal for some films (alternate titles, shorts, TV, etc.). We match against TMDB; rerunning later can improve results if metadata changes.
