article	Export Vault Data	import-export	false	false	export accounts csv	08	This article explains how to export your personal Vault data from any client application, or export an Organization Vault from the Web Vault or CLI.

You can export your personal Vault data from any client application, or export 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.

We recommend using .json for a more complete export, as .csv files won't currently export Cards or Identities. For complete information on the format of Bitwarden .csv and .json files, see Condition a Bitwarden .csv or .json.

Vault Exports will not include file attachments or Items in the Trash.

{% callout warning %} Unless you're using an Encrypted Export, do not store or send the exported file over insecure channels, like email, and delete the file immediately after use. {% endcallout %}
