Export saves cookies from the current page to a file for backup, transfer to another machine, or use in automation tools.

Open Export

  1. Open the side panel on a page that has cookies to export.
  2. Click the Export icon (up arrow) in the top toolbar.
  3. The EXPORT COOKIE modal appears.
EXPORT COOKIE modal — choose Header string / JSON / Netscape, preview example, and optional encrypt password
EXPORT COOKIE modal — choose Header string / JSON / Netscape, preview example, and optional encrypt password

Choose a format

Format Description Download
Header String name=value; ... for HTTP headers .txt or .json
JSON Chrome cookie object array, easy to read/edit .json
Netscape Netscape/Mozilla format, works with many tools .txt

Each format shows an Example preview in the modal so you know what the output looks like.

Encrypt on export (optional)

  1. Enter Password to encrypt cookies if you want to protect the file.
  2. Click Export.
  3. The downloaded file is prefixed with E2EE_, e.g. E2EE_example.com_json_1716480000.txt.

When importing again, use the same password in "Password to decrypt cookies".

Export passwords are never sent to the server — encryption and decryption happen on your device only.

Download filenames

  • Unencrypted: {hostname}_{format}_{timestamp}.json or .txt
  • Encrypted: E2EE_{hostname}_{format}_{timestamp}.txt

Share instead of exporting a file

At the bottom of the Export modal, Share via link instead opens the online share flow (requires sign-in + Standard plan). See Share cookies.

Quick copy (no file)

To copy to the clipboard instead of downloading:

  1. Click the Copy icon in the top toolbar.
  2. Choose a format (Header string / JSON / Netscape).
  3. Paste wherever you need the cookies.

Set the default copy format in Settings.
