Convert KEEPASS to KEEPER

Understanding Keepass and Keeper file formats

Keepass is a popular open-source password manager that stores credentials in an encrypted database file, typically with the .kdbx extension. Keeper is a commercial password management solution that uses its own proprietary format for storing and importing password data, often via CSV or JSON files.

Why convert Keepass to Keeper?

Users may wish to switch from Keepass to Keeper for enhanced features, cloud syncing, or enterprise integration. To migrate your data, you need to convert your Keepass database into a format that Keeper can import, usually a CSV file.

How to convert Keepass to Keeper

1. Export your Keepass database:
   Open your Keepass application and load your database. Go to File → Export and select CSV as the export format. Save the file to your computer.
2. Format the CSV for Keeper:
   Keeper requires a specific CSV structure. Open the exported CSV in a spreadsheet editor (like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) and adjust the columns to match Keeper's import template. You can download Keeper's CSV template from their support site.
3. Import into Keeper:
   Log in to your Keeper web vault. Go to Settings → Import and select CSV File. Upload your formatted CSV and follow the prompts to complete the import.

Best software for Keepass to Keeper conversion

The most reliable method is using Keepass itself for export and a spreadsheet editor for formatting. For advanced users, Passwarden and Bitwarden also offer migration tools that can help with CSV formatting. However, always verify the final CSV matches Keeper's requirements before importing.

Tips for a smooth migration

• Backup your original Keepass database before starting.
• Double-check field mapping to ensure all credentials import correctly.
• Remove any unnecessary columns or sensitive notes not needed in Keeper.
