      Hi Anjali,

      Import Wizard :

      Is designed for less-technical users and smaller, simple imports of up to 50,000 records.

      Can only import data of Account, Contact, Leads, Solution, and Custom Object.

      For more information, go to Help & Training | Importing Data | Using the Import Wizards.

      Data Loader :

      For complex imports of any size.

      Can upload more than 50000 records.

      Can import and export data.

      Can import data of any object except User.

      Thanks.

      • It doesn’t require installation.
      • While importing, duplicates can be ignored.
