HTML Ren'Py How to convert an exported save from the browser version of a ren'py game into a save compatible with the non-browser/software version?

I've tried exporting saves from ren'py games I first found on browser to be put into the save directory of actual software version of the ren'py game, and I've noticed most of the time it would either:
- Come up with an absolute error that can't be rolled back every time you try loading in the save, even though the save's thumbnail appears e.g. no module named matrix or revertable:

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 432, in __call__
renpy.load(fn)
ImportError: No module named matrix

- The exported saves are in the game's save directory but the game itself doesn't acknowledge it and somehow everytime I replace a new save with my old one the new one still appears
- The exported browser save actually works

Anyone know if this process is supposed to work smoothly and I'm just doing something wrong or is there some complex method? Thanks.
