Step 2. Upload your Google Takeout archive

When Google have provided you with a zip file, upload it for analysis.

You can either upload the zip file directly or just upload the Chrome/BrowserHistory.json file contained within it

Google records the times in UTC (a Coordinated Universal Time) format. Choose the correct time zone that you live in (or one closest to you) and we will convert the time.

Your Time zone:

(perhaps only upload a small version of your archive, either the BrowserHistory.json file alone or your archive without photos and email)

We will convert the JavaScript Object Notation with its Unix timestamps and Unicode titles into a human readable format, display statistics and allow you to download as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet as well as giving you a report on the most popular urls and various categories of content (Movies, Social Media, Adult, etc.).
