BIP-329 defines a new standard for exporting and importing labels from Bitcoin wallets, but many wallets still don't support this functionality.
dkbit98 did a good job listing those that do in his topic, BIP-329 Labels Export Wallets (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533820.0). That thread lists the wallets that support BIP-329, but I wanted to take it one step further and explain how to export/import the labels manually from popular software wallets and hardware wallet native apps regardless if they support BIP-329 or not.

Without any delay, let's get to it.
I have contacted customer support of popular wallet apps and asked them for information about exporting labels from their software. The following is information they told me via live chat or e-mail, plus some info that I managed to find online.

This topic is a work in progress. I can update it when new information becomes available and when we find information about new wallets that support importing and exporting labels.


Hardware Wallets and their Native Apps

* Bitbox and Bitbox App
Supports exporting labels: YES

The Bitbox app supports exporting account names and transaction labels for Bitcoin using the BIP-329 standard. The app refers to the exported information as "notes".

Found the list of wallets that may compliment that one published by OP:


Technically it's possible to support address labeling directly on hardware wallets, but due to their limited memory it's pretty impractical. That’s why this functionality is typically handled by the companion app.
As for Envoy, Foundation hasn’t implemented address labeling in this app yet, so it currently lacks support for BIP 329. Hope, they’ll consider adding it in one of their future releases.

I am familiar with that list. I saw a link to it in dkbit98 topic that I linked to in my OP. That list is limited to software that supports the new BIP-329 standard. The only wallet that's interesting on that list to me is Nunchuk. According to the data, it supports BIP-329. I will take a look at the process of exporting and importing labels with it to see how it's done. Another software wallet I forgot to mention is Specter Wallet. I wonder if they have a label importing/exporting feature!? 

One year ago I had this app installed but it was running pretty slow with my Passport Core paired and I ended up knocking down Spectre from my machine. Right now I sieved through their releases and evidenced that many of them include changes relevant to address labeling. For example in v.0.8.1 release (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases?page=9) there is the entry "Add addresses labels to wallet backup file" . From this it seems clear for methat Spectre supports importing and exporting address labels.

Does anyone here use Specter Wallet or has used it in the past?

I am trying to find out how to export and import wallet labels with it. I couldn't find anything useful on the website or the documentation. I created a GitHub issue last week but no replies there. Seems like their GitHub is pretty quiet.

I downloaded the software on my laptop to check it out myself. It's not like your usual Bitcoin software. It immediately asks to connect your hardware wallet if you want to create a new wallet or import your xPUBs. I don't want to do that. I also didn't see any option to create a hot wallet.

I used it in the past.

If they didn't change it, it should be as simple as: Open the wallet->Go to Transactions tab->Export.
The transactions including the labels will be exported as csv file, can also be done in the Address tab to export the addresses and thier labels instead.
To import, go to the wallet's Settings tab and in the advanced tab, there should be an Import option there.

Yeah, it's more of a browser that works as an interface to a daemon (specterd) running in the background.
This is why the GUI is not so responsive compared to other wallets.

Thanks nc50lc,

Since you aren't using the wallet now, how sure are you that you remember the procedure properly? I can't test it myself so I can only take your word for it, which I will. But before I add this to my OP, please check one more time if that's the way to do it.

If I understand properly, the Specter Wallet doesn't have a unique option just for exporting and importing labels. They are included in the .csv file together with the transactions and addresses.

I can test this on a new install to double-check.
But since you've mentioned that their GitHub page isn't active, I bet that the buttons and settings are in the same locations.

I'll try to post an update after a few hours with some screenshots.

-update-

The options are there and surprisingly, it's compatible with Electrum's export but definitely not BIP329 standard.
Export:

Import:

Thanks for the instructions!
This is what I added to the list in OP. If you think something should be added or changed, feel free to comment. I am waiting to hear back from the Nunchuk support. That's the remaining wallet I plan to add to the collection.

* Specter Wallet
Supports exporting labels: YES

* Credits go to nc50lc
Specter supports exporting and importing labels previously saved as CSV files. The software is compatible with Electrum's exports.

How to export labels with Specter Wallet:

1. Open the wallet in your Specter Desktop.
2. Click on the "Transactions" tab.
3. Click on "Export" and "Export Transactions to CSV".
4. Click the "Done" button.

How to import labels with Specter Wallet:

3. Click on "Advanced".
4. Click the "Import" or "Upload File" buttons and navigate to your saved labels file.

@Pmalek, you can also change "NO" to "Yes" for Envoy by Foundation. The latest release, i.e. v.2.0.0 added BIP 329 support to this wallet which can be used ether in the standalone mode or alongside with Passport line of HW.


The v.2.0.0 beta is currently in pre-release. However, it will be updated to the latest stable version in just a few days. This is their standard practice to set short delay for release of stable version to catch any potential bugs.

That's positive news. Another hardware wallet native software supports exporting and importing labels. The last piece of info I got from their support team was that it's a feature they are working on and plan to implement but they don't have a set timeline for it. I am glad it's already done. I will wait with updating this in my OP because it hasn't official been released yet, and I would like to know the step-by-step instructions on the export and import processes.

Thanks!

Hello Pmalek,

I'd like to let you know that inside AOBT we consider your thread a very valuable one. As a consequence, we decided to translate (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5442314.msg61853233#msg61853233) your topic in multiple local boards. I hope this is great news for you :)

Usually, we consider a thread as "done" after we make 10 translations for it, but also more than 10 can be done.

And, so far, already 2 translations are available:

- Pidgin translation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399898.msg65544867#msg65544867), made by Chilwell
- Russian translation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5549333), made by zasad@

And, if you are so kind, would you like to add our translation to the bottom of your OP? If you wish to do it, here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536692) is an example of how NotATether listed the translations made by AOBT. Of course, it's up to you, but the translators would be very glad if you'd list them at the bottom of OP.

Cheers!

Hi GazetaBitcoin,

Thanks for considering my topic worthwhile as a translation project for The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators. It goes without saying that anyone is free to translate anything I write into any language they want to. I will add a link to finished translations at the bottom of my OP now.

Cheers!

Well, we are always looking for topics from which the entire community benefits, topics which share knowledge... and yours is surely one of them!


Thank you so much, Pmalek! That was very kind of you and I am sure all translators will appreciate your gesture!

I have added to the OP the steps for exporting and importing labels using Nunchuk Wallet. This software supports both the BIP-329 standard but also has a native export format.

* Nunchuk Wallet
Supports exporting labels: YES

Nunchuk supports exporting and importing labels in Nunchuk's export format or as JSON files according to the BIP-329 standard.

How to export labels with Nunchuk Wallet:

1. Open your wallet from the home screen.
2. Click on "View wallet config."
3. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
4. Click on "Export labels."
5. Select either the Nunchuk or BIP329 export format.
6. Enter the location where to save the .json file.

How to import labels with Nunchuk Wallet:

1. Open your wallet from the home screen.
2. Click on "View wallet config."
3. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
4. Click on "Import labels."
5. Select either the Nunchuk or BIP329 import format.
6. Find the location where you saved the .json file and import it.

Liana wallet supports exporting labels to .json file using data structure that complies with BIP 329. No importing so far.





How to export labels: Settings ==> Import/Export ==> BIP 329 labels ==> Liana prompts to save relevant .json file in directory of your choice.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/07/14/UAu4Gm.png

Thanks for the information and the step-by-step explanation.
I have heard of Liana Wallet but can't remember seeing any posts of users on the forum who use it regularly. Looking at the images, you seem to use it together with a hardware wallet. Do you like it and does it offer anything unique or different than what you can get from Sparrow, Electrum, or another popular software wallet?

@Pmalek, Liana is one-of-a-kind of-the-shelf private keys coordinator which has capability to create and manage advanced schemes involving those keys. These schemes may include features like multiple backup keys with varying activation times, decaying multisig (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5544304.msg65413489#msg65413489), and more. This functionality ^{which is in fact due to Liana's Miniscript support} opens up potential to use Liana in " passphrase loss-resistant wallet using HW with an extended BIP39 seed phrase" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441422.msg65282711#msg65282711), or in various inheritance plans.

P.S. Other day, I have opened up the threat dedicated to Liana wallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5545366.msg65436576#msg65436576).

Thanks @satscraper!
I have added Liana Wallet to the list in OP.

Hey Pmalek, please allow me to present you the Romanian translation of your topic: Cum să imporți / exporți etichete în portofelele populare (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5550839.0).

I hope this is good news :)

Apart from that, I also notified zasad@ and Chilwell (the AOBTers which already made the first 2 translations) to update their translations, in order to include the two updates you made to OP (about Nunchuk and Liana wallets).

Cheers!

I have added your translation to my OP. Thanks for your work!
The Croatian topic is also on its way and should be done soon.
I don't know why but even after all this time I keep getting surprised that you are Romanian. The "Gazeta" part of your username will always be an association with Italy for me (although it's spelled differently). I know I mentioned this to you before. ;D

Thank you, Pmalek! Much appreciated!


This is good news... And, also, several more translations will come from AOBT, of course... at least until we reach 10 of them :)


Hihi!


True... But Romanian and Italian are "sister languages"... In fact, from all Latin languages, Romanian este the closest one to Latin (excepting Italian, of course, for obvious reasons). This happens because, unlike other Latin conquerings (like the ones from Spain, Portugal, France), when Latins conquered Dacia (the country which existed 2000 years ago on the territory where Romania is located now), they did not only install military camps... They moved here. They remained here... settled... married the locals... And their descendants did not consider themselves Romans anymore, but Romanians.

So, practically, due to this combination of cultures, the Dacians started using Latin more and more... mixing up their language with Latin as well... and the result was Romanian language -- the closest Latin language to the original Latin :)

So, of course, many Romanian words are very close to Italian ones, including "gazeta" -- which, in Italian, is "gazetta" :)

With the release of Envoy app 2.0.1, the software has added an option to export labels and tags in BIP-329 format. I believe that only exporting works as there doesn't seem to be an import feature.

Here is how you can do that:

Foundation Devices and Envoy App
Supports exporting labels: Yes
- Only applicable to Envoy standalone wallets and not when Envoy is paired with Foundation hardware wallets.

Envoy supports exporting of labels and tags as .json files in BIP-329 format.

How to export labels using the Envoy app:

1. From the Account selection, click on the two horizontal lines on the top left.
2. Click "Backups."
3. Click "Advanced Backups."
4. Select "Export Tags & Labels (BIP-329)" and select a location where you want to save the file.
5. Click "Save."

@Pmalek, the instruction above applies only to accounts associated with the Envoy mobile standalone wallet.

If Envoy's account is relevant to paired Passport device ^{in my case  Passport Core} then there is currently no option to export or import labels and tags.

That said, for Envoy standalone wallets, there is an option to import labels and tags using the BIP-329 format. Here's how:

1) From the Account selection, tap on the two horizontal lines on the top left.
2) Tap "Backups."
3) Tap "Advanced Backups."
4) Tap "Download Settings&Metadata..."

I did create a hot wallet just for testing purposes to check the export/import feature, but didn't pair Envoy with a hardware wallet. It's interesting that the option would be missing for your paired Passport Core. When you access "Advanced Backups", is the option not there at all or is it greyed out?

That option downloads (which means exports) a file with all your settings and metadata (labels) that you can save on your device. I don't see an import button. How do you import your labels from the same downloaded file or another BIP-329 compatible file?

No such option at all.


This means import rather than export.

It may be used after wallet restoring from SEED you know and any BIP-329 comparable file encrypted with this SEED ^{labels are bound to addresses that in turn are bound to SEED}. Just tap the relevant file:


Sorry, I misled you. That "Download" option actually refers to downloading to their server when Magic Backup is turned on. Label importing happens automatically when you're restoring from their servers using Magic Recovery. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=87&v=0Fnd_BfK-OQ&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F)

Thus, their label exporting/importing functionality is only useful for users of their Magic Recovery service, and not beneficial to others. I'm becoming disillusioned with them. >:(

P.S. I have corrected my previous post.

Once more sorry.

Perhaps they will make further changes to this functionality in the future. This is the first Envoy version that supports label exports from hot wallets at least.

I thought about tagging @foundationdvcs and sending them a PM to check our conversation and shed some light on all this but I can see that they haven't been online since May. I will get in touch with their customer support again and ask. In the meantime, I will make an update in my OP to mention that label exports only work with Envoy (hot) standalone wallets.

Right, besides, it seems that those exported files can’t be imported into wallets that support the BIP 329 import feature, since the files are encrypted. They can only be used through their Magic Backup service. Looks like they're targeting "pea-gooses" with this approach. BTW, I have uninstalled Envoy from my Android because after upgrading to the latest 2.01 their Magic Backups is always turned on and I can not deactivate it. Looks like a bug form their side.

Perhaps it depends on which of the two options under "Advanced Backups" you choose. "Export Tags & Labels (BIP-329)" or "Download Settings & Metadata." The first should allow you to later import your labels in other BIP-329 supporting wallets, like Sparrow Wallet.

This is what their documentation (https://foundation.xyz/2025/07/envoy-version-2-0-1-is-now-available/) says:

Hey Pmalek!

I'd like to let you know that one more translation was made by AOBT:

- Ukrainian translation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236982.msg65616890#msg65616890), made by DrBeer

At same time, I informed the 3 AOBTers which already translated your topic to apply your most recent update (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5547466.msg65611092#msg65611092) of the topic. I also added the update inside the Romanian translation :)

Thanks for the update. I will add it to the OP.

I have made small changes to the Foundation Devices and Envoy App part in my OP. I see now that I forgot to make those changes in the post you linked to above. I will do that now. You can see below how it looks in my OP for the moment. This could change again depending on the reply from the Foundation Devices support team. I emailed them yesterday asking for more information about the label export function. I am interested if and when the export feature will be available for users with paired Foundation Devices hardware wallets with Envoy.

Oh you don't have to worry about that, Pmalek! I took the updates straight from the OP :)
I used your post only as reference but the changes are reflected inside the translation as they were taken from the main OP.

(And, I believe, the other translators do the same.)

Cheers!

@Pmalek It looks like they’ve addressed the issue related to paired Passport wallets in the latest 2.0.2 release. However, I’m a bit hesitant to test it with my Passport Core. As I mentioned earlier, I completely removed  Envoy app from my phone because I don't like their Magic Backup feature and wanted to eliminate any potential seed leakage risk. Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for reporting this. According to them, only some Passport hardware wallet users had issues exporting their labels and notes using the Envoy app. You were one of them.

I contacted them on 26 July asking for more information and if it is possible for users with Passport-paired devices to export their labels. I expected an email but never got it. But when I opened the page you linked to above I saw that they replied via live chat. They say that they identified an issue with BIP-329 exports when using Passport-paired accounts in the Envoy app. The support agent said that they opened a ticket with their engineering team to resolve the problem. I can only assume that it's now fixed. I will ask them again over live chat if that is the case.
