.env Formatter
Format and clean .env files online: normalize quotes, sort keys, remove duplicates, and group variables, no upload needed
.env Formatter Tips
- Comments above a variable stay attached to it - even when you sort or deduplicate.
- Duplicate keys keep the last value, matching how dotenv libraries actually load files.
- Quote normalization adds double quotes only when a value contains spaces, # or other special characters.
- export KEY=VALUE lines are parsed too - the export prefix is dropped in the output.

Yes. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript - there is no upload, no server processing and no logging. Still, for production secrets, prefer a copy with values replaced.
The last occurrence wins and earlier duplicates are removed - exactly how dotenv libraries such as dotenv (npm), python-dotenv and vlucas/phpdotenv load files.
Yes. Comments directly above a variable stay attached to it, and standalone comment blocks are preserved at the end of the file - even with sorting enabled.
Only when needed: values containing whitespace, #, = or leading/trailing spaces are wrapped in double quotes. Everything else is written bare for maximum readability.
Standard .env files are line-based, so each KEY=VALUE must fit on one line. Use \n escape sequences inside quoted values for multiline content, as most dotenv loaders expect.
