Import from JSON file

Effortlessly import your account(s) by uploading a JSON file.

Last updated 3 months ago

Currently, this is the only method in which you can import multiple accounts simultaneously.

If you are currently using SubWallet

Step 1: On the SubWallet homepage, hit the account name to access the account selection tab.

Step 3: Choose "Import from JSON file" as the chosen method to import your account.

Step 4: Tap the import field to choose a file from your device, or drag and drop your JSON backup file to import.

Step 5: Enter the file's password (created when you set up the wallet for the first time) and hit "Import by JSON file".

Step 6: Select the accounts you wish to import, then press "Import by JSON file".

If there is more than 1 account that has the same account name in the JSON file, a popup will appear, informing you that the wallet will automatically add suffixes for these accounts to differentiate them. Hit "I understand" to proceed.

You can change the account name later.

You've successfully imported your accounts from a JSON file!

If you have not had any accounts with SubWallet

Step 1: Open the SubWallet app. On the welcome screen, choose "Import an account".

Step 2: Choose "Import from seed phrase" to import account.

Step 3: Create a master password with at least 6 characters and tick "I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password". Once done, hit "Continue".

SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost. Make sure that your password is well-kept.

Step 2: In the account selection tab, press the icon at the bottom of the screen.

Once you create a master password, you can follow the importing procedure provided in , starting from Step 3.
