Export & backup accounts

Supported export methods

Export your private key in different forms of backup files, and use these files to restore & import the account again if you so wish.

Depending on the type of account you want to export, SubWallet supports different export methods:

(*): The exported JSON file cannot be imported into EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.).

(**): When importing a JSON file containing watch-only accounts, these accounts remain watch-only. You cannot transfer funds or actively participate in any activities with them.

Export & backup an account

Step 1: On the SubWallet homepage, hit the account name at the top of the screen to get to the account selection tab.

Step 2: In the account selection tab, tap 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 screen, choose "Export".

Step 4: Choose your preferred way(s) to export your account and click "Confirm".

As "Andy 4" is a unified account, there are 2 options to export the account, as listed in the table above.

Step 5: Enter your password and click "Confirm".

Step 6: Your backup information has been exported!

Scroll to see all your backups and click the "Finish" button below to return to the homepage.

Export multiple accounts

Step 1: Open SubWallet and hit the account name to go to the account selection tab.

Step 2: In the account selection tab, tap 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 all accounts. Once done, click on the "Export 2 accounts" button.

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

Step 5: A JSON file will be created. Click on the download icon to download the file and keep it in a safe place.
