Where Is Your Vivaldi Profile Folder?
Vivaldi browser profile folder on Windows, macOS and Linux, following the standard Chromium layout.
Last updated
Vivaldi builds on Chromium, so its profile layout will look familiar: a User Data folder with a Default profile inside. History, bookmarks, extensions and sessions all live there.
Extra profiles sit as siblings (Profile 1, Profile 2). The Default folder is the one most people need.
Where Vivaldi stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default
Holds the Default profile plus any extra profiles. Close Vivaldi before copying. The Bookmarks and Login Data files sit inside Default.
~/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi/Default
Same Chromium layout. Use Go to Folder in Finder.
~/.config/vivaldi/Default
Same layout under the XDG config home. Copy with the browser closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move my Vivaldi profile to a new computer?
Copy the Default folder (or the whole User Data folder) to the same location on the new machine with Vivaldi closed. Matching major versions avoids profile upgrade prompts.
Which files hold bookmarks and passwords?
Bookmarks live in the Bookmarks file, logins in Login Data (tied to the OS keychain). Export passwords from settings as well if you want a readable backup.
