*(\*): The exported JSON file **cannot be imported** into EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.) or Cardano-native wallets (Typhoon).* *(\*\*): Ledger accounts are not supported for exporting.* ### Export & backup an account **Step 1**: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the account name to access the account selection tab.

**Step 2**: In the account selection tab, click the

icon on the right-hand side of the account you wish to export. *In this example, we will export the backup information of "Andy T" - a unified account.*

**Step 3**: In the Account details section, choose "**Export**".

**Step 4**: Enter your password. {% hint style="info" %} You will notice that even if you correctly enter your password, the "**Confirm**" button is still unavailable. You would need to choose your preferred form of export file to continue. {% endhint %}

As "SubWallet Unified 01" is a unified account, there are 2 options to export the account, as listed in the table above. **Step 5**: Choose your preferred way(s) to export your account. Then, click "**Confirm**".

{% hint style="warning" %} Please save and keep your backup files secure. Furthermore, you will need these backup files to restore your account in case you forget your SubWallet password. {% endhint %} {% hint style="danger" %} **Don't share your seed phrase with anyone, including us.** SubWallet is non-custodial, which means we don't store any of your backup information to ensure user privacy and security. {% endhint %} ### Export multiple accounts {% hint style="info" %} This feature allows you to export backup information of multiple accounts (no matter its account type) in **one JSON file**. {% endhint %} *In this example, we will export multiple accounts on the SubWallet extension on the Chrome browser.* **Step 1**: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the account name to access the account selection tab.

**Step 2**: In the account selection tab, click on the export icon

at the top right of the screen.

**Step 3**: In the Export account screen, select as many accounts to export as you wish. *In this example, we want to export 3 accounts. Once done, click on the "**Export 3 accounts**" button.*

**Step 4**: Enter your password to confirm, then click "**Submit**" to proceed.

Once clicked, the Chrome browser will download a JSON file. Click **Ctrl + J** to locate the file.

**Step 5**: You have successfully exported multiple accounts! Click "**Finish**" to return to the homepage.

{% hint style="info" %} If you want to import these accounts to use them on other devices and browsers, you can import the JSON file downloaded from **Step 4** using this [guide](/main/extension-user-guide/account-management/import-accounts/import-from-json-file.md). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
