This is my local storage, I want to somehow export it from this page and import it to another. How can this be done? I wish to export it for backup purpose too.

Probably they just saved the localStorage data in a JSON format, and then wrote an exporter / importer. – BenM Sep 09 '17 at 08:42

To export:
const export = JSON.stringify(localStorage);
To import:
Object.assign(localStorage,JSON.parse(import));
How to get the exported string from the one page to the other is another question...

@usrr2828442 it exports a string. You can do with that whatever you like – Jonas Wilms Sep 09 '17 at 11:03

StorageAce chrome extension can easily help you with this. You can Export/Copy local storage items of one page and Import those in another page.
Along with Local Storage, it also easily manage Session Storage and Cookies.
