# How to import Custom Formats
Here I will try to explain how you can import Custom Formats for Radarr v3.
!!! attention
Keep in mind Custom Formats are made to fine tune your Quality Profile
**Quality Profile trumps Custom Formats**
More info [HERE](/Radarr/Radarr-setup-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
## How to Copy/Paste the JSON from the site
In this example i will use the [BR-DISK](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format the one most people don't want to download anyway and if you do then you probably don't use Radarr or Plex being both don't support it.
Visit the [Collection of Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} and from the Table select [BR-DISK](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#br-disk){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
??? success "example - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
![cf-table-select-brdisk](images/cf-table-select-brdisk.png)
After you selected it you expand the JSON
??? success "example - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
![cf-json-expand](images/cf-json-expand.png)
Then you select the Copy/Paste icon on the top far right
??? success "example - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

## How to import a JSON Custom Format
In Radarr
`Settings` => `Custom Formats`
![cf-settings-cf](images/cf-settings-cf.png)
Then click on the ![cf-plus-add-small](images/cf-plus-add-small.png) to add a new Custom Format.
Followed by the `Import` in the lower left.
![cf-import](images/cf-import.png)
In the empty `Custom Format JSON` box (1) you just paste the `JSON` what you got from the [Custom Format Collection](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} followed by the `Import` button (2).
What you see in the red box is a example txt that you don't and can't remove!
![cf-import-cf](images/cf-import-cf.png)
After selecting the `Import` button you will get a screen that has all the Custom Formats variables filled in correctly,
all you need to do now is click on the `Save` button and you're done.

## Start adding other Custom Formats wisely
!!! tip
Now Start adding other Custom Formats wisely, **Don't add all the available Custom Formats !!!**
Personally I would only add the Custom Formats that do what you actually prefer especially in the beginning, including the [Releases you should avoid](/Radarr/Radarr-setup-custom-formats/#releases-you-should-avoid)
Check out the [How to setup Custom Formats](/Radarr/Radarr-setup-custom-formats/) where I will try to explain how to make the most use of custom formats and show some personal examples that I'm using. That you can use to get a idea how to setup yours.
