How to Use

  1. Paste the contents of your .env file into the text area above.
  2. All key-value pairs are instantly shown in the table below, grouped with status indicators.
  3. Issues like empty values or duplicate keys are highlighted with warnings.
  4. Use Copy as JSON to export all variables as a JSON object.
  5. Use Copy keys only to get a list of all variable names — useful for documenting your .env.example.

About This Tool

The .env file format is used by virtually every modern web framework — Node.js via dotenv, Python via python-decouple, Ruby, PHP, and more — to separate configuration from code. This parser reads your file in the browser, displays every variable in a structured table, and flags common mistakes like missing values or accidentally duplicated keys. Your content never leaves your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to paste my real .env file here?

All parsing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no data is sent to any server. That said, real secrets like API keys and database passwords should be treated with care. Consider using dummy values when testing in a shared environment.

What syntax is supported?

Standard dotenv syntax: KEY=value pairs, # comments, and blank lines. Quoted values (KEY="hello world" or KEY='value') have their quotes stripped. Lines that do not match the KEY=value pattern are flagged as invalid.

What does "duplicate key" mean?

If the same key appears more than once in a .env file, most dotenv libraries use the first occurrence and silently ignore later ones. This tool highlights duplicates so you can clean them up and avoid unexpected behaviour.
