Get Private Keys from Backup

Get private keys from backup

If you have an old Pandacoin wallet backup (.dat or encrypted export) and you want to pull the private keys out of it — for example to re-import them into a new wallet, BlueWallet, or any other wallet that supports PND — there's a browser-based tool that does it for you.

How it works

The tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. It decrypts the backup locally using your wallet password, then lists the private keys it found. You can then copy them out or scan them as QR codes into a compatible wallet.

Steps

  1. Enter your wallet password in Step 1.

  2. Load your backup file in Step 2 — the .dat (or equivalent) file you saved when you originally backed up the wallet.

  3. Copy the private keys shown in Step 3, one per line. Each line is a separate address/key.

  4. Import each key into its own new wallet in BlueWallet (or your wallet of choice). You can also scan the QR codes directly with any Pandacoin-compatible wallet.

Safety checklist

Private keys are the coins. Handle them accordingly:

  • Do this on a machine you trust. No shared computers, no malware. A freshly booted laptop is ideal.

  • Check the URL. It should be exactly https://amdoge.gitlab.io/extract-keys/ — scammers clone tools like this.

  • Go offline if you want. The page works fully offline once loaded. Disconnect Wi-Fi for extra peace of mind.

  • Never paste private keys into a chat, email, or support ticket. No real support person will ever ask for them.

  • Don't save them in plain text on your desktop. Import them into a wallet and delete the copies.

After importing

Once your keys are in a new wallet, send a small test transaction first to confirm everything works, then move the rest of the funds. Once the funds are safely in the new wallet, the old backup is still valid but no longer holds anything worth attacking.
