Bitwarden allows you to export your personal Vault data from any client application, or an Organization Vault from the Web Vault or CLI. Exports can be downloaded as plaintext .json or .csv files, or as a .json [Encrypted Export]({% link _articles/importing/encrypted-export.md %}).

Bitwarden recommends using .json for a more complete option for standard backup procedures as .csv exports will not export Cards or Identities. For information on the format of Bitwarden .csv and .json exports, see [Condition a Bitwarden .csv or .json]({% link _articles/importing/condition-bitwarden-import.md %}).

Vault Exports will not include File Attachments or Items in the Trash.

{% callout warning %} Unless you're using an [Encrypted Export]({% link _articles/importing/encrypted-export.md %}), do not store or send the exported file over insecure channels, like email, and delete the file immediately after use. {% endcallout %}
