A .env file stores environment variables as KEY=VALUE pairs, one per line. Lines starting with # are comments; blank lines are ignored. Values can be quoted (single or double) to preserve whitespace or special characters. This parser extracts all variables and outputs them as structured JSON or as an object you can inspect and copy.
This tool runs entirely in your browser — your environment variables never leave your device. However, treat .env files as sensitive data: they typically contain database credentials, API secrets, and auth tokens. Use placeholder values when testing or demonstrating, and never commit real .env files to version control.
Basic variable expansion (VAR=$OTHER_VAR or VAR=${OTHER_VAR}) is resolved when the referenced variable appears earlier in the file. Circular references are flagged. The output shows both the raw value and the expanded value so you can verify interpolation is working as expected.
Yes. The parser outputs JSON by default, which you can reformat as YAML, TOML, or any other config format. This is useful when migrating from .env files to a secret manager, Kubernetes secrets, or a CI/CD environment variable store that expects JSON or YAML input.

.env Parser keeps typical inputs on your device—nothing is uploaded to EverydayTools servers for core calculations.

This .env parser converts KEY=VALUE pairs into JSON or YAML directly in your browser. It supports export KEY=VALUE, quoted values (single/double), multiline values, and unquoted inline # comments. Sensitive keys are highlighted and you can mask values for safer viewing.
After exporting, verify your JSON with JSON Validator and validate YAML with YAML Formatter & Validator. If you need structure/validation for configs, generate a JSON schema with JSON Schema Generator.
Copy/export safely, mask sensitive values, and spot duplicates or invalid keys.
Tip: after exporting JSON, verify it in JSON Validator and format it in JSON Formatter.
