🗄️Restore from File

If you have a JSON file containing your account information exported from a Polkadot-supported wallet, you can import these accounts into the extension.

You’ll first encounter this option on the onboarding page after installing the extension — simply click the Already have accounts button, as shown below.

If you already have accounts in the extension and want to restore additional accounts from a file, simply open the Account Menu in the top corner and select Import Account (this will redirect you to the Already have accounts page).

Alternatively, you can go to Settings, open Account Settings, and then click Import Account.

When you click Restore from File, you’ll see a page where you can either drag and drop your JSON file or click the Browse button to select the file.

Once you select the JSON file, all accounts stored in it will be displayed. Check the accounts you want to import, enter the file password, and then click the Restore button to add them to your extension.
