Import birthdays
Build your birthday list faster by importing contacts instead of typing every date by hand.
Start with the contacts you already have
BReminder supports importing birthdays from Google Contacts and from Excel files so you can spend less time on setup and more time celebrating.
Manual entry slows people down
Knowing you should track birthdays is easy. Entering dozens of dates one by one is not. That friction is why many birthday lists stay empty.
Import, then organize
Connect Google Contacts or upload an Excel spreadsheet, review what was imported, and keep managing birthdays inside BReminder with reminders and cards.
Why import helps
- Faster setup for large contact lists
- Google Contacts import when you sign in with Google
- Excel import for spreadsheets you already keep
- Continue editing relationships, notes, and reminders after import
How importing works
- Create a BReminder account and sign in
- Open contact management and choose Google import or Excel upload
- Review imported birthdays and clean up any missing details
- Use the calendar and reminders to stay ahead of upcoming dates
Good fits for import
- People who already store birthdays in Google Contacts
- Families maintaining a shared birthday spreadsheet
- Anyone switching from notes or another list into BReminder
