Trakt's new browser importer hard-locks the "Start Import" button for free accounts when your Letterboxd watchlist has more than 250 items — and it's all-or-nothing, so a big watchlist blocks your entire import, watch history included. Drop your Letterboxd export below and this tool splits it into importable ≤250-item chunks you can feed to Trakt one at a time.
diary.csv, watched.csv, ratings.csv, watchlist.csv.Everything runs locally in this page. Close the tab and nothing persists.

It's a free-account watchlist cap. Trakt's new browser-based Letterboxd importer (rolled out in July 2026) hard-locks the "Start Import" button with a VIP upsell when a free user's Letterboxd export contains more than 250 watchlist items. Because the importer is all-or-nothing, an oversized watchlist blocks the whole import — including your watch history and ratings, which aren't capped at all.
Two separate things. (1) Your watch history and ratings are not capped — the only reason they wouldn't import is the all-or-nothing block. Separating them into their own ≤250 files lets every watched film and rating through. (2) Your watchlist itself can't exceed 250 items on a free Trakt account, so no tool can bypass that. We give you the first 250 as an importable file and the rest as clearly-labelled overflow files — import those only if you upgrade to Trakt VIP.
Yes. We read the dates and ratings straight from your Letterboxd export and write them back unchanged, in Letterboxd's own column format, so Trakt reads them exactly as it would the original file. Films you logged with a rewatch are flagged as a rewatch; films you marked watched but never dated stay dateless (we never invent a date).
Plain CSV, using the exact same column headers as Letterboxd's export
(Date, Name, Year, Letterboxd URI, Rating, Rewatch, Tags, Watched Date for history;
Date, Name, Year, Letterboxd URI for the watchlist). Trakt's importer accepts these
directly. "Download all as ZIP" bundles every chunk into one archive for convenience.
Nowhere. Your export is parsed entirely inside your browser with JavaScript — there is no server, no upload, no analytics on your data. You can load this page, disconnect from the internet, and it still works.
You can — but the free-account block is a deliberate VIP gate, not a bug, so it may not change. This tool gets your history and ratings in today without paying, using nothing but your own export.
