Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between .env and .tfvars?
.env files are standard for defining environment variables in applications (KEY=VALUE), while .tfvars files are used by Terraform to set values for input variables (key="value"). The syntax differs slightly in quoting and assignment.
Does this tool handle comments?
Yes, the converter generally respects the structure, but primary focus is on variable conversion. .tfvars syntax for comments (# or //) is similar to .env (#), ensuring compatibility.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your environment variables and secrets are never sent to any server.
Can I convert complex Terraform variables?
This tool is optimized for key-value pairs (scalars) common in .env files. Complex Terraform objects or maps might require manual adjustment when converting back to .env format.
