Import & Export
Move secrets in and out of dotenvar quickly. Bulk-paste an entire .env file to import, or export a Group in multiple formats for use elsewhere.
Bulk import
Open any Group and click Bulk Insert. Paste your existing .env content directly into the text area. dotenvar parses each KEY=VALUE line and creates a secret for each one. Lines starting with # are treated as comments and skipped.
# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@localhost/myapp
DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=10
# Auth
JWT_SECRET=s3cr3t_k3y_here
SESSION_EXPIRY=86400
Each line above becomes a separate encrypted secret in your Group.
Export
Open a Group and click Export. Choose your preferred format:
.env
Standard dotenv format. Paste directly into a server or CI/CD environment.
DATABASE_URL=postgres://... JWT_SECRET=abc123
JSON
Key-value JSON object. Useful for Node.js config files or APIs that consume JSON.
{
"DATABASE_URL": "postgres://...",
"JWT_SECRET": "abc123"
}YAML
YAML mapping. Works with Docker Compose, Kubernetes ConfigMaps, and similar tooling.
DATABASE_URL: "postgres://..." JWT_SECRET: "abc123"
Keep exports safe: Exported files contain your secrets in plaintext. Store or transmit them securely and delete them once you no longer need them. Never commit export files to version control.
