Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool support nested folders in Postman Collections?
Yes. The converter recursively traverses all folders, subfolders, and items in Postman Collection v2.0 and v2.1 schemas, extracting every executable HTTP request into an annotated cURL command.
Are private API keys and environment secrets safe?
Yes, absolutely. The conversion executes 100% client-side in your local browser sandbox. No collection data or authorization tokens are ever transmitted to any external server.
How are disabled headers and query parameters handled?
Items marked with disabled: true in the Postman JSON schema are automatically omitted from the generated cURL command, matching Postman's execution behavior.
Can I convert Postman collections containing file uploads?
Yes. Multipart formdata fields with type: file are translated into cURL's -F "key=@filename" syntax so they can be run directly from terminal shell scripts.
