Extract clean, aligned KEY=value pairs from any .env file.

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

About Env Key-Value Extractor

When a .env has grown messy — mixed quoting, stray spacing, outdated comments — the Env Key-Value Extractor produces the clean core: a list of every KEY=value pair, aligned so the equals signs line up.

Toggle aligned columns, wrapping of non-numeric values in double quotes, and whether comments survive. The output is ideal as the base for a fresh, documented .env.

Parsing is entirely client-side; nothing you paste leaves the page.

Features

  • Clean pairs: only KEY=value lines.
  • Aligned equals: padding by longest key.
  • Optional quoting: values normalized.
  • Comment toggle: keep or drop notes.
  • Duplicate-safe: last value wins.
  • Copy or download: instant result.
  • Private: fully client-side.

How to Use

  1. Paste your .env or load the sample.
  2. Choose options: alignment, quoting, comments.
  3. Click Extract. The clean pair list appears.
  4. Copy it into your new .env.

Examples

Example 1 — Cleanup pass. A legacy .env with inconsistent spacing becomes a tidy aligned file in one click.

Example 2 — Migration prep. Extracting pairs before a format conversion gives a normalized starting point.

Example 3 — Quote audit. With quoting on, the extractor normalizes every value to a consistent style.

Example 4 — Minimal template. Dropping comments produces the smallest set of pairs to re-document from scratch.

Benefits

  • Instant cleanup: one click, no hand-editing.
  • Consistent style: aligned, normalized.
  • Flexible: quoting and comments togglable.
  • Private: nothing uploaded.
  • Free: use on every config cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?
Parses a .env file and re-emits only the KEY=value pairs as a clean, aligned list. Comments can be kept or dropped, and values can be quoted.
What does aligned output look like?
All equals signs line up: the longest key sets the column, so every other key is padded, e.g. APP_NAME = "ToolWasp".
How is quoting decided?
With quoting on, every non-numeric value is wrapped in double quotes and existing surrounding quotes are removed first. Numbers and empty values stay unquoted.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Extraction is a client-side parse of the text you paste.
