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 `.json` or `.csv` files, however 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 currently do not include file attachments.
|

|
{% callout warning %}
|
|
Vault Exports contain your data in an **unencrypted** format. Do not store or send the exported file over insecure channels, like email. You should delete Vault Exports immediately after you are done using them.
