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.
