Arc Is Sunsetting

On December 22, 2026, the browser Arc will be "sunsetting," marking the end of its existence. The team behind Arc, which includes the same engineers and security experts who built the upcoming browser Dia, is dedicating all their efforts to enhancing security in the new platform. Arc's features will continue to be available for free in Dia, with AI functionality optional.

For existing Arc members, there will be no disruption in the short term. The latest version of Arc allows users to export all their data to Dia, and Dia will also seamlessly import data from Arc, including passwords, extensions, profiles, tabs, and bookmarks. This transition will be facilitated through a few simple clicks during sign-up. Existing Arc accounts won't be affected by the change, but new accounts can no longer be created starting October 22, 2026.

Certain Arc functionalities will be disabled on iOS and Android devices, including Browse for Me and other AI features, and Arc Search will no longer allow users to sign in or sync tabs. Arc will also be phased out on macOS and Windows, with the final deactivation occurring on December 22, 2026, at which point personal data will be deleted within 30 days. Arc Search for Android will be removed from the Google Play Store on the same date.

To help users make the transition, Arc provides an option to export all data before December 22, 2026. Detailed instructions for exporting and importing data between Arc and Dia are available in FAQs. On macOS, users can find this option by going to Dia Import from Another Browser in the Mac menu bar, while on Windows, they can open the Dia app menu and select Import from another browser. This ensures a smooth migration for all Arc users.
