- 3
Copy or download
Conversion happens live, right in your browser. Copy the result to your clipboard or download it with one click.

Store and share securely
Save the converted variables end-to-end encrypted with Envless so your team can access them without secrets ever hitting plaintext.

Everything you need to know about converting and managing your environment files.
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Your .env file never leaves your device — there are no uploads, no logging, and no network requests.
JSON, YAML, docker run --env flags, docker-compose environment blocks, Kubernetes Secret YAML, shell export statements, and TOML. The .env option also re-normalizes your input.
Yes. It correctly parses comments, single and double quotes, export prefixes, and blank lines — the same syntax your shell and runtime understand natively.
No. Environment files should never be committed to version control, regardless of format. Treat the converted output like your original .env — keep it secret and out of your repository.
Neither. The converter is completely free with no rate limits and no sign-up. Convert as many environment files as you need.
