Summary

Paste a flat JSON object and instantly get the equivalent .env key=value lines.

How it works

  1. Paste or type a flat JSON object into the input panel.
  2. The tool parses the JSON and extracts each top-level key-value pair.
  3. String values with spaces or special characters are wrapped in double quotes.
  4. Boolean and numeric values are written as-is (no quotes).
  5. The resulting .env lines appear in the output panel instantly.
  6. Click "Copy Output" to copy the result to your clipboard.

Use cases

  • Convert a config.json file into a .env file for a Node.js or Python project.
  • Generate environment variable definitions from a JSON secrets export.
  • Quickly migrate settings between JSON-based and dotenv-based config systems.
  • Prepare .env files for Docker, Kubernetes, or CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strip nested objects and flatten top-level keys before committing to a repo.
  • Share environment variable templates without exposing actual secret values.
