Import a CSV

Already track your collection in a spreadsheet? Import it instead of retyping. Vaultry reads your CSV, lets you match its columns to the right fields, and creates the items for you.

Before you start

Export your spreadsheet as a .csv file (Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets all offer Export → CSV).
Keep the header row — the first row's column names are what you'll map against.
Files up to 10 MB are supported. If yours is larger, split it into a couple of files and import them in turn.
Pick (or create) the collection you want the rows to land in first — you import into one collection at a time.

Import steps

Open the collection and choose Import → CSV.
Upload your file. Vaultry shows a preview: your column headers and the first few rows, so you can confirm it read the file correctly.
Map columns. For each Vaultry field, pick the CSV column it comes from — Name from Title, Value from Paid, and so on. Unmapped columns are simply skipped. The available fields match the collection's type.
Import. Vaultry processes the rows and adds the items. You'll see how many succeeded.

Tips for a clean import

Match value columns to a number format (strip currency symbols if the importer flags them).
Dates import most reliably in YYYY-MM-DD form.
Do a small test first — import five rows, confirm the mapping looks right, then run the whole file.
Watch your item limit: a large import can push you over your plan's cap. See Plans & what happens when you cancel.

Import is not the same as restore

Importing a CSV adds items to a collection. Restoring a backup replaces your data from a Vaultry backup ZIP and only accepts a backup made by your own account. If you're moving a spreadsheet in, you want import. If you're recovering from a Vaultry backup, see Back up & restore your data.

Have a PSA export?

If your CSV is a PSA "My Inventory" export, use the dedicated flow — it auto-detects the format and pre-maps the columns for you. See Import your PSA inventory.
