Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to INI sections?

INI sections are flattened during conversion. Since .env files don't support sections, keys from different sections may need to be prefixed to avoid conflicts. The converter uses JSON as an intermediate format.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all conversion happens directly in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.
