How do I import from a spreadsheet?

Pin Drop imports a spreadsheet saved as a CSV file. Lay your places out one per row with a header row at the top. Include at least a name for each place and a way to locate it, either a full address or a latitude and longitude. A notes column and a tags column are optional and come across with each pin.

This works with Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets. In each, choose Save As or Download and pick CSV.

Upload it to Pin Drop

Open Pin Drop on the app or website, go to the Data section and choose Import. Select your CSV file and Pin Drop turns each row into a pin, ready to tag and organise. Larger files may take a moment to process.

Tips

If a place does not land where you expect, check the address is complete or add a latitude and longitude. Photos and other attachments cannot be included in a spreadsheet import, so add those once your pins are in.
