QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert REDDITVAULT to JSON?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .redditvault backup is already JSON-formatted text that holds an encrypted 12-word recovery phrase, so "converting" it to .json gains you nothing. If you just want to inspect the structure, rename or copy the file to .json and open it in a text editor, but the phrase itself stays encrypted and unreadable.

Why convert REDDITVAULT to JSON?

People look for this because .redditvault files store their recovery data as JSON-formatted plain text, so it feels like it should open as a normal .JSON. In reality the file already is JSON; it lists the encryption type and an encrypted version of the phrase, and only the Reddit Vault app can decrypt and use it.

How to convert REDDITVAULT to JSON

Rename to .json to inspect

Copy the file and change the extension from .redditvault to .json, then open it in a text editor. You will see the JSON keys but the recovery phrase field stays encrypted.

Any text editor (VS Code, Notepad++)

Open the .redditvault file directly in a code editor to read its JSON structure. Do not edit or share it, since it protects your wallet.

Reddit app (intended use)

Instead of converting, use the file where it belongs: in the iOS or Android Reddit app, start wallet recovery and load the phrase from your .redditvault backup.

Quality & what to watch

  • The recovery phrase inside is encrypted, so a .json copy is still unreadable without the app.
  • Never upload a .redditvault file to an online converter or share it - anyone who decrypts it controls your wallet.
  • Renaming to .json changes only the extension, not the underlying data.
