Export & backup accounts | SubWallet

Export your backup information 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:

¹ Exporting via QR code for EVM accounts is only possible if the account is previously imported via seed phrase.

² The exported JSON file cannot be imported into EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.) or Cardano-native wallets (Typhoon).

Export & backup an account

Step 1: On the SubWallet homepage, 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 4: A popup screen will appear on the right side. Enter your password and select the export method(s) you want.

You will notice that even if you correctly enter your password, the "Confirm" button is still unclickable. You would need to choose your preferred form of export to continue.

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

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.

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.

Export multiple accounts

This feature allows you to export backup information of multiple accounts (no matter its account type) in one JSON file.

Step 1: On the SubWallet homepage, 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.

As Ledger accounts are not supported for this feature, you will not see them in the available account list.

Step 4: A popup will appear on the center of the screen. 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.

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.
