How to Export Your Helperbird Settings

Learn how to export your Helperbird settings so you can back them up or transfer them to another device or browser.

Why Export Your Settings?

Exporting your settings creates a file that contains all your Helperbird preferences — your chosen colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, feature toggles, and every other customization you have made. This is useful when you want to back up your settings before resetting Helperbird, transfer your settings to a new computer or browser, or share your exact setup with someone else, like a teacher sharing a recommended configuration with students.


Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the Settings Page

Click the gear icon in the top-left corner of the Helperbird menu. This will open the Settings page.


Step 3: Click Export Next to Settings

Scroll down to the Export section on the Settings page. You will see a Settings row with an Export button next to it.

Click the Export button.


Step 4: Save the File

Your browser will download a .helperbird file containing all your Helperbird settings. The file is named with today's date, for example helperbird-March-26-2026.helperbird. Save this file somewhere safe on your computer.

You can use it later to restore your settings using the Import Settings feature. The file does not include your subscription key or any personal account information.

Tip: Export your settings regularly, especially before resetting Helperbird or switching to a new computer. It only takes a few seconds and can save you the time of reconfiguring everything from scratch.

This extension has been an absolute lifesaver. I have that fantastic combo of ADHD and Dyslexia while trying to go through college. I have difficulty keeping letters in order, seeing the gaps between words, and with ADHD on top, I lose focus A LOT. The immersive reader has been my new best friend. It drowns out the rest of the content on the page, changes the font to something I can read, and highlights the word as it reads to me. My eyes are forced to keep going in the right direction. I can slow down and pay attention to what I'm reading. I don't even have to go back and read the same paragraph 5 times to understand it! The screen overlay has been outstanding for eye strain and being able to distinguish between words and spaces. The custom font and spacing for research articles have been an enormous advantage! I can actually read the research papers now and not have this daunting 2 column fine print page to squint over.All around, this has been the best purchase I've ever had. I use this every day, with every assignment. I don't even struggle with story-based questions anymore. The immersive reader helps me read, listen, and understand the question all at once. I am still exploring what I can use this with and how it can make my academic career, and I keep getting impressed with every new way I find to use it. Seriously, try it out. You won't regret it at all. Even if you don't have dyslexia or ADHD, just try it out. You might find that it helps you understand the content you're trying to learn even better!

I really liked the ease of setting up and also accessing the tool while you are on chrome. I had no trouble, and within a week found myself using it without even noticing.
