Transmute Portable

Transmute is a lightweight application designed to help you copy bookmarks from one web browser to another. It can be seamlessly figured out, even by less experienced users.

This is the portable version of Transmute, so installing the tool is not necessary. For example, you can save it to a removable device (like a USB flash drive) and directly run its executable file on any computer. This way, the Windows Registry is not populated with new entries, and no files are left behind on the hard drive after program removal.

The interface of the program is based on a standard window. The 'what you see is what you get' expression applies to Transmute when it comes to the GUI, because there are no available features aside from the ones visible in the main application window.

All you have to do is select the source and target web browser, make Transmute overwrite and backup the collection (before any changes are made), and proceed with the task. It is also possible to approve the source and target files and folders to be copied beforehand.

Transmute supports a wide range of web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, K-Meleon, SeaMonkey and Opera, as well as numerous languages for the interface. It has a good response time, quickly copies bookmarks, and uses a low-to-moderate amount of CPU and system memory in the process.

We have not encountered any problems during our testing; Transmute did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. Although most web browsers offer the possibility of importing bookmarks from others, Transmute can still come in handy along the way. And, thanks to its intuitive layout, first time users cannot get lost between its simple features. Too bad that Transmute has not been updated for a while.
