What does type coercion do?

With coercion enabled, unquoted values of true and false become booleans and plain numeric strings become numbers. Disable it if you need every value to stay a string, which is how dotenv loaders behave at runtime.

Is my env file uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser as JavaScript. Your environment file is never sent to a server.

.env to JSON Converter

.env to JSON converter

Paste a dotenv file and get back a clean JSON object. Each KEY=value line becomes a property; comment lines and blank lines are ignored, an optional export prefix is stripped, and quoted values are unquoted (double quotes process \n and \" escapes, single quotes stay literal).

Turn on type coercion to convert true, false and numeric values into native JSON types, or leave it off to keep everything as strings. The whole conversion runs in your browser — your env file never leaves your device.
