Import & Export Profiles

Export a profile

Export saves one profile into a single .veiluspack file:

1. Click the profile’s row to open its panel, then click Export at the top.
2. Optionally enter a Password (and re-enter it). Leave it empty for no encryption.
3. Click Export and choose where to save the file.

The file contains:

• The fingerprint configuration and proxy settings
• Cookies, bookmarks, browser preferences and site storage (Local Storage, Session Storage, IndexedDB)

It never contains browsing history, cache, or passwords saved in the browser.

With a password, the whole pack is encrypted. If you lose the password, the pack cannot be opened; there is no way to recover it.

Caution

A .veiluspack file carries the profile’s live login sessions. Without a password it is not encrypted, and anyone holding it can sign in to the profile’s accounts. Set a password when the file leaves your own computer.

Import a profile

1. Click Import in the Profiles page header (or Import .veiluspack when the list is empty).
2. Click Choose Files… and select one or more .veiluspack files.
3. If a pack is password-protected, enter its password.
4. Click Import.

Each file becomes a new profile named after the original with (imported) added. It keeps the same fingerprint as the exported profile, so it looks like the same browser to websites.

Tags come with the profile. A tag that doesn’t exist on this computer is created; a tag with the same name that already exists is reused, not duplicated. Packs don’t store tag colors, so new tags get the default color, which you can change afterwards.

Note

Because the fingerprint is kept, don’t run the original and the imported copy at the same time on the same accounts. To a website they are one device appearing in two places.

To move only cookies, or to keep a restore point on the same computer, see Cookies, Snapshots & Warming.

Veilus Sync

To keep profiles in step between your computers instead of moving files by hand, use Veilus Sync. It copies profiles to a Git repository or a “Veilus Sync” folder in your Google Drive. See Veilus Sync and Set up sync.

Caution

Veilus does not encrypt the profile data it copies there, and that data includes cookies: the live login sessions of every profile it copies. Use a private repository, and don’t share its access token or your Google account.
